AA"SELF-LOCKING NUT REMOVAL
1. Use the special tools to compress the coil spring.
Caution
(1) Do not tighten the special tool bolt too tight. The
special tool will be broken if the allowable
tightening torque of 74 N·m is exceed.
(2) Install the special tools evenly, and so that the
maximum length will be attained within the
installation range.
(3) Do not use an impact wrench as it will cause the
bolt of the special tool to be seized.
2. Using the special tools, loosen the self-locking nut.
