Disassembly note
Piston rod nut
1. Secure the mounting block in a vise.
Caution
l Use protective plates in the jaws of the vise.
2. Loosen the piston rod nut a few turns. Do not remove it.
Caution
l Do not remove the nut.
3. Compress the coil spring with the SST.
4. Remove the piston rod nut.
5. Remove the coil spring.
Inspection
Check for the following and replace the shock absorber if
necessary.
Secure a handle to the piston rod, and compress and expand
the shock piston at least three times. Verify that the operation-
al force does not change and that there is no unusual noise.
