thought the same thing Dave but the center bushing has a pin that you take two bolts out and the pin slides out very easy , all in all not a very hard job just everything is big you will need help , maybe you can help me in front of the bus were the two vertical air tanks are there is a valve on the passenger side cant figure out what its purpose is it has a drain valve on it ?
