NOTE: When compressing the damper spring, use a
commercially available strut spring compressor
(Branick MST-580A or Model 7200, or equivalent)
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
1. Remove the cap (A) from the top of the damper.
2. Compress the damper spring, then remove the self- locking nut (A) using the strut nut adapter, a ratchet
or breaker bar while holding the damper shaft with
a hex wrench (B). Do not compress the spring more
than necessary to remove the nut.
3. Release the pressure from the strut spring compressor, then disassemble the damper as
shown in the Exploded View. 1. Reassemble the damper mounting base and the
self-locking nut.
2. Compress the damper assembly by hand, and check for smooth operation through a full stroke,
both compression and extension. The damper
should extend smoothly and constantly when
compression is released. If it does not, the gas is
leaking, and the damper should be replaced.
3. Check for oil leaks, abnormal noises, or binding during these tests.

1. Push on the damper as shown.
2. Compress the damper assembly by hand, and check for smooth operation through a full stroke,
both compression and extension. The damper
should extend smoothly and constantly when
compression is released. If it does not, the gas is
leaking and the damper should be replaced.
3. Check for oil leaks, abnormal noises, or binding during these tests. 1. Install the damper mounting bushing (A) onto the
damper unit. Position the damper assembly (B)
between the body and tra iling arm.
NOTE: Be careful not to damage the body.
2. Position a floor jack under the tra iling arm to
support the suspension, then install the new
damper mounting bolt (A).
3. Loosely tighten the damper mounting bolt.
4. Raise the rear suspension with the jack until the vehicle just lifts off the safety stands, then tighten
the damper mounting bolt to the specified torque
value.

Frequent inhalation of brake pad dust, regardless of material composition, could be hazardous to your health. Avoid breathing dust particles.
Never use an air hose or brush to clean brake assemblies. Use an OSHA-approved vacuum cleaner.
Remove, disassemble, inspect, reassemble, and install the caliper, and note these items:
NOTE: Make sure that the caliper pins are installed correctly. Upper caliper pin B and lower caliper pin A are different.
If these caliper pins are installed in the wrong location, it will cause vibration, uneven or rapid brake pad wear, and
possibly uneven tire wear. Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may damage the paint; if brake fluid gets on the paint, wash it off immediately with water.
To prevent dripping brake fluid, cover disc onnected hose joints with rags or shop towels.
Clean all parts in brake fluid and air dry; blow out all passages with compressed air.
Before reassembling, check that all parts are free of dirt and other foreign particles.
Replace parts with new ones as specified in the illustration.
Make sure no dirt or other foreign matter gets in the brake fluid.
Make sure no grease or oil gets on the brake discs or pads.
When reusing brake pads, always reinstall them in their original positions to prevent loss of braking efficiency.
Do not reuse drained brake fluid. Use only clean Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid from an unopened container. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and shorten the life of the system.
Coat the piston, the piston seal groove, and the caliper bore with clean brake fluid.
Use recommended greases in the front caliper set.
After installing the caliper, check the brake hose and line for leaks, interference, and twisting.
Install inner brake pad with
its wear indicator upward.
