COIL SPRING AND STRUT
1. Install Tool (A) to strut and secure it in a vise.
CAUTION:
When installing the strut attachment to strut, wrap a shop
cloth around strut to protect it from damage.
2. Using a spring compressor (commercial service tool), compress
coil spring between strut mounting bearing and spring lower
seat (on strut) until coil spring is free.
CAUTION:
Be sure the spring compressor is securely attached to the
coil spring before compressing coil spring.
3. Make sure coil spring with spring compressor between strut
mounting bearing and spring lower seat (strut) is free. Then
remove piston rod lock nut while securing the piston rod tip so
that piston rod does not turn.
4. Remove strut mounting insulator, strut mounting bearing, and
bound bumper from strut.
5. Remove coil spring with spring compressor, and then gradually release a spring compressor.
CAUTION:
Loosen while making sure coil spring attachment position does not move.
6. Remove the strut attachment from strut.
INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Strut Inspection
Check the following:
• Strut for deformation, cracks or damage, and replace it if necessary.
• Piston rod for damage, uneven wear or distortion, and replace it if necessary.
• For oil leakage, and replace it if necessary.
Strut Mounting Insulator and Rubber Parts Inspection
Check strut mounting insulator for cracks and rubber parts for wear. Replace it if malfunction is detected.
Coil Spring Inspection
Check coil spring for cracks, wear or damage, and replace it if necessary.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Do not damage strut piston rod when installing components to strut.
1. Install the Tool (A) to strut and secure it in a vise.
CAUTION:
When installing the strut attachment to strut, wrap a shop
cloth around strut to protect it from damage.Tool number : ST35652000 ( — )

PRECAUTIONS
• Use hand tools, power tools (disassembly only) and recommended
special tools where specified for safe and efficient service repairs.
• When repairing the fuel, oil, water, vacuum or exhaust systems,
check all affected lines for leaks.
• Before servicing the vehicle:
Protect fenders, upholstery and carpeting with appropriate covers.
Take caution that keys, buckles or buttons do not scratch paint.
WARNING:
To prevent ECM from storing the diagnostic trouble codes, do not carelessly disconnect the harness
connectors which are related to the engine control system and TCM (transmission control module)
system. The connectors should be disconnected only when working according to the WORK FLOW of
TROUBLE DIAGNOSES in EC and AT sections.
Precaution for Three Way CatalystINFOID:0000000001702425
If a large amount of unburned fuel flows into the catalyst, the catalyst temperature will be excessively high. To
prevent this, follow the instructions.
• Use unleaded gasoline only. Leaded gasoline will seriously damage the three way catalyst.
• When checking for ignition spark or measuring engine compression, make tests quickly and only when nec-
essary.
• Do not run engine when the fuel tank level is low, otherwise the engine may misfire, causing damage to the
catalyst.
Do not place the vehicle on flammable material. Keep flammable material off the exhaust pipe and the three
way catalyst.
Precaution for Fuel (Unleaded Regular Gasoline Recommended)INFOID:0000000001702426
Use unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number (Research
octane number 91).
CAUTION:
Do not use leaded gasoline. Using leaded gasoline will damage the three way catalyst. Do not use E-85
fuel (85% fuel ethanol, 15% unleaded gasoline) unless the vehicle is specifically designed for E-85 fuel
(i.e. Flexible Fuel Vehicle - FFV models). Using a fuel other than that specified could adversely affect
the emission control devices and systems, and could also affect the warranty coverage validity.
