Tag axle lift cylinder removal

[pcpronze]

I have a ruptured tag axel lift cylinder diaphragm on my 40' "S" roadmaster chassis.   Wondering if any one has removed and repaired one.  What did it take to remove the unit?   I have seen u-tubes on the replace of the diaphragm, which looks quite easy.   If someone knows of a u-tube or instruction that would be helpful I have searched and not been successful.

Get a size 30 diaphragm (NAPA) and remove the bolt / U clamp that holds the 2 half’s of the chamber together. Replace diaphragm and bolt back together. There is a weak spring that returns the rod but not strong enough to stop you from putting the 2 half’s back together.

Thanks for the reply.   Do you have to remove the unit to rebuild or can it be done in place?   If you have to remove what would the procedure be?   I can see the top of the unit but not sure what is involved for safety precaution in removal.
