1.Set the attachment A (MB991793) to the spring compressor (special tool: MB991795) as shown in the figure.
|
|
2.Set the following special tools to the strut assembly.
- 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, 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.
|
Counterhold the piston rod, then use the wrench (special tool: MB991681) to remove the strut nut.
|
|
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.Check that both of the coil spring ends align with the spring seat groove correctly.
|
|
2.
| 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)
|
|
3.
| 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.
|
Counterhold the piston rod, then use the wrench (special tool: MB991681) to tighten the strut nut to the specified torque.
Tightening torque : 44 ±
5 N·m
