DISASSEMBLY
1. Install strut attachment to strut and fix it in a vise.
CAUTION:
When installing a strut attachment, cover strut with shop
cloth to avoid damage.
2. Remove cap and slightly loosen piston rod lock nut.
CAUTION:
Do not remove piston rod lock nut completely. If it is
removed completely, coil spring jumps out and may cause
serious damage or injury.
3. Compress coil spring using a spring compressor.
CAUTION:
Be sure spring compressor is securely attached to coil spring. Compress coil spring.
4. After making sure coil spring is free between upper and lower seats after Step 3. Remove piston rod lock
nut.
5. Remove small parts on strut.
lRemove strut spacer, strut mounting seal, strut mount insulator, spring upper seat, upper rubber seat,
and bound bumper. Then remove coil spring from strut.
6. Gradually release spring compressor, and remove coil spring.
INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Strut
lCheck strut for deformation, cracks, and damage, and replace if necessary.
lCheck piston rod for damage, uneven wear, and distortion, and replace if necessary.
lCheck welded and sealed areas for oil leakage, and replace if necessary.
Bushing
lCheck bushing for cracks and damage, and replace if necessary.

CAUTION:
lWhen checking the overall preload torque, measure it
without the oil seal, then install the oil seal.
lDiscard old oil seals; replace with new ones.
lApply multi-purpose grease onto oil seal lips, and gear
oil onto the circumference of the oil seal.
lThe oil seal back position after the installation shall be
56.5 mm from the gear ring end.
2. Apply a thread locking adhesive into the thread hole for the drive
gear.
a. Completely clean and degrease the drive gear back face, thread
holes, and drive gear mounting bolts. (Use a gasket remover to
remove the thread locking adhesive.)
b. Apply a thread locking adhesive onto the first and second
threads under the thread hole chamfering of the drive gear, on 3
or more different points.
3. Install the drive gear to gear ring, and apply anti-corrosive oil
onto threads and seats on the mounting bolts, and then tighten
to the specified torque.
CAUTION:
lTemporary installation before tightening the bolts through the completion of the tightening
should be within 90 seconds.
lIf the thread locking adhesive is applied aside, quickly wipe it off.
