1.Install special tool attachment A (MB991795) to special tool spring compressor (MB991793) as shown in the figure.
|
|
2.Set the strut assembly to the following special tools:
- Spring compressor (MB991793)
- Attachment A (MB991795)
- Upper plate (MB991794)
- Fixture (MB991830)
| note |
Use the bolts and nuts removed from the vehicle to secure the strut assembly and tighten them lightly by hand.
|
3.After setting the strut assembly, operate the spring compressor and compress the coil spring by approximately 5 mm.
|
|
4.
| caution |
The locking nut for the piston rod inside the strut may be loose. Do not use the impact wrench to loosen the strut nut (self-locking nut).
|
Use the following special tools to loosen the strut nut (self-locking nut):
- Wrench (MB991681)
- Socket (MB991682)
|
|
Before disposal of the strut, place the strut on the level surface with the piston rod extended, and make a hole of approximately 3 mm in diameter at the point shown in the figure to discharge the gas.
|
|
1.Align the bottom end of the coil spring with the end of the recess in the spring lower pad.
|
|
2.Align the top end of the coil spring with the end of the lug in the spring upper pad.
