12 Move tensioning device (06) into removal position "L1".
13 Remove front spring (1) and head bearing (7).
Component Identification:
Mount front spring
The clamping devices must be mounted to prevent unintended twisting of the front spring (1)
14 Mount clamping device part 1 (01) and spacer ring (03) on upper clamping plate (04) with bolts (3).
The clamping device part 1 (01) must be positioned in the bore 7 and 15 to the upper clamping plate (04).
Use spacer ring (03) from 204 589 00 63 00 for model 204.0/2, 207.
Use spacer ring (03) from 204 589 02 63 00 for model 204.9.

Code (482) Suspension for increased ground clearance
Code (485) Use comfort suspension or
Code (677) Avantgarde/Standard suspension.
Use spacer ring (03) from 212 589 02 63 00 for 212 with
Code (486) Use sports suspension or
Code (488) steel/air suspension.
15 Mount lower clamping plate (05) and move tensioning device (06) into assembly position.
Clamping plate (05) 203 589 01 63 02 for model 204, 207, 212 with code 486, 488 or 677.
Use clamping plate (05) and protective insert from 212 589 00 63 00 for model 212 with code 482 or 485.
16 Place head bearing (7) in spacer ring (03).
The head bearing (7) only fits in one position in the spacer ring (03) and must abut the upper clamping plate (04).
17 Move tensioning device (06) into insert position "L1" and insert front spring (1).
18 Mount clamping device part 2 (02) on the clamping device part 1 (01) with clamp screws (2).
Tighten clamp screws (2) by hand until the clamping device part 2 (02) abuts the front spring (1).
Use clamp screws (2) from 204 589 00 63 00 for model 204.0/2, 207, 212 with code 482, 485 or 677.

Component Identification:
19 Twist front spring (1) so that the start of the spring coil reaches position "H" (arrow).
So that the front spring (1) can be correctly applied at the thrust bearing (5), the front spring (1) may not yet be positioned in the lower clamping plate (05).
20 Tighten clamp screws (2) with tightening torque (5 Nm).
It is essential to maintain the tightening torque, otherwise the thrust bearing (5) will be damaged or the front spring (1) can twist when clamping
Component Identification:
21 Position front spring (1) in the lower clamping plate (05) and move tensioning device (06) into the clamping position "L5".
22 Check positioning of front spring (1) in the tensioning device (06) and in the clamping plates (04, 05).
23 Clamp front spring (1) until the clamping position "L3" is reached.
The clamping device part 2 (02) must not damage the front spring (1) (arrow).
Component Identification:
24 Insert suspension strut (6) and mount nut on piston rod.
Counterhold piston rod with Ton( TX50
Observe position of front spring (1) in lower spring cup (8). The end of the spring coil must abut the end stop (9) in the lower spring cup (8).
25 Release front spring (1) until the release position "L5" is reached.
Do not release front spring (1) further on account of risk of damaging the clamping devices part 1, 2 (01, 02).
26 Detach clamping device part 2 (02) from clamping device part 1 (01) with clamp screws (2).
27 Move tensioning device (06) into removal position "L4".
Remove suspension strut (40) from upper and lower clamping plate (04, 05).
