REAR COIL SPRING AND SHOCK ABSORBER


Disassembly and Assembly


DISASSEMBLY

CAUTION:
Never damage shock absorber piston rod when removing components from shock absorber.
1. Remove gasket and cap from mounting insulator.





2. Install shock absorber attachment (A) [SST: ST35652000 ( �
)] to shock absorber and secure it in a vise.

CAUTION:
When installing the shock absorber attachment to shock absorber, wrap a shop cloth around shock absorber to protect it from damage.





3. Using a spring compressor (A) (commercial service tool), compress coil spring between rubber seat and shock absorber until coil spring with a spring compressor is free.

CAUTION:
Be sure a spring compressor is securely attached coil spring. Compress coil spring.
4. Make sure coil spring with a spring compressor between rubber seat and shock absorber is free. And then remove piston rod lock nut while securing the piston rod tip so that piston rod does not turn.

CAUTION:
Start compressing the coil spring after checking that the spring compressor is completely attached.
5. Remove mounting insulator, rubber sheet, and bound bumper from shock absorber.
6. After remove coil spring with a spring compressor, and then gradually release a spring compressor.

CAUTION:
Loosen while making sure coil spring attachment position does not move.
7. Remove the shock absorber attachment from shock absorber.

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION:
Never damage shock absorber piston rod when installing components from shock absorber.
1. Install shock absorber attachment [SST: ST35652000 ( � )] to shock absorber and secure it in a vise.

CAUTION:
When installing the shock absorber attachment to shock absorber, wrap a shop cloth around shock absorber to protect it from damage.
2. Compress coil spring using a spring compressor (commercial service tool), and install it onto shock absorber.

CAUTION:





- Install with the large-diameter side (A) facing up and the small-diameter side (B) facing down.
- Be sure a spring compressor is securely attached to coil spring. Compress coil spring.
3. Apply soapy water to bound bumper.

CAUTION:
Never use machine oil.
4. Install rubber sheet and mounting insulator to shock absorber.

CAUTION:





Install the mount insulator so that the stud bolt is in the position shown in the figure.

A : LH
B : RH
Arrow : Vehicle front (shock absorber lower bolt insertion direction)

Angle (E) : 29.7�

5. Secure piston rod tip so that piston rod does not turn, then tighten piston rod lock nut with specified torque.
6. Gradually release a spring compressor, and remove coil spring.

CAUTION:
Loosen while making sure coil spring attachment position does not move.
7. Remove the shock absorber attachment from shock absorber.
8. Install the gasket and cap to the mounting insulator.
