Front Strut: Disposal
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Subaru Baja. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
- Do not disassemble the strut damper or place it into a fire.
- Drill a hole before disposal of strut.
- Before handling gas filled struts, be sure to wear goggles to protect eyes from gas, oil and/or filings.
- Place the gas filled strut (A) on a flat and level surface with piston rod (B) fully extended.
- Using a 2 to 3 mm (0.08 to 0.12 in) dia. drill, make a hole in area shown in Fig 1 .
