Full repair kit with air bellows for Tesla X and Tesla S air struts front, type adaptive, 2019-21 models.
The only thing that is needed from the original air strut is the shock absorber/nut itself. Dismantle this, and attach the new aluminum ring with o-ring and stop-ring from the kit, and put straight in.
Note that you get a complete new bellows with this set.
The set consists of 13 parts:
1× aluminium cylinder w/bellows, cuff etc.
1x air nipple 4mm
3× nuts top
1× c-ring for top cover
1× top cover
1x o-ring for top cover
1x stop-ring on shock absorber
1x aluminum ring
1× outer o-ring
2× inner o-rings
For a review on how to unscrew the air strut, and fit it into the repair kit, watch our video for the standard version. Is pretty much the same on the adaptive type (the difference is that the aluminum ring and outer o-ring are much stronger and somewhat more difficult to remove/install). Put on subtitles, additional info there:

Be aware that fork on old air strut can be difficult to detach. Now, this is not necessary for fitting it into the repair set, as shown in the video above (just put the shock absorber directly into new set with old fork on). Note, however, that there is narrower and less space to sand rust on the adaptive variant.
We recommend using air pressure to press the plastic cover over the outer o-ring on the aluminum ring (see video, time 18:45-20-10). The air filling hose used for this, as well as for pressure testing the air bellows when the repair is complete, can be found here.
If you want an extra fork strut, you can find that here.
