Shock Absorber With Coil Spring: Disassembly
- Using Special Tool (09727-30021 - 09727-00010, 09727-00021, 09727-00031), compress the coil spring. DO NOT use an impact wrench as it will damage special tool. See Fig 1. Remove suspension support nut. Remove suspension support, upper insulator 23, spring bumper and coil spring.
- Compress and extend shock absorber and check that there is no abnormal resistance or unusual sounds. If there is any abnormality, replace shock absorber with a new one.
- If disposing of old shock absorber, fully extend shock absorber rod. Place shock absorber horizontally to prevent oil from coming out. Using a drill, make a hole on top of shell to discharge gas inside. See Fig 2.
- Using Special Tool (09710-28021 - 09710-08031), 09710-30021 (09710-03131), 09950-70010 (09951-07100) and a press, remove bushing. See Fig 3.
CAUTION:
Gas coming out is harmless. Be careful of chips which may fly up when drilling.
