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 assembly, place the strut assembly 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.Fit the coil spring to the spring tube securely. 2.Install the coil spring equipping with the spring tube to align the bottom with the
shape of the strut spring sheet.
|
|
1.Check that both of the coil spring ends align with the spring sheet groove correctly.
|
|
2.Align the strut spring sheet hole with the upper spring sheet hole.
note |
Use the pipe to align the holes easily.
|
|
|
3.
caution |
Be careful that the hand is not pinched by the coil spring when
aligning the piston rod with the hole of upper insulator while compressing the coil spring.
|
While passing the strut piston rod through the hole of upper insulator by hand, slowly
compress the coil spring by the following special tool:
- Spring compressor (MB991793)
- Attachment A (MB991795)
- Upper plate (MB991794)
- Fixture (MB991830)
|
|
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 tighten the strut nut (self-locking nut) to the specified
torque:
- Wrench (MB991681)
- Socket (MB991682)
Tightening torque: 60 ± 9 N·m
