5. Install the J 34013-38 in order to help guide the strut shaft out of the strut.
6. Loosen the compressor screw while guiding the strut shaft out of the strut. Continue loosening the compressor screw until you can remove the strut

ASSEMBLE PROCEDURE
Important: When assembling the strut mount to the strut, orient the mount such that the mount stud without the hole next to it is lined up above the
opening in the strut-to-knuckle attachment bracket. This should orient the wedge/bearing/upper spring seat such that the angle of the upper spring seat
is approximately parallel to the angle of the lower spring seat. If it does not, rotate the wedge on the mount (keeping the mount oriented as described
above) until the upper spring seat is approximately parallel to the lower spring seat.
1. Assemble the strut (1) in the J 34013-B with the J 34013-20 clamped to the strut shaft.
2. Insert the spring over the strut in the correct position and move the spring upright in the strut compressor. Install the upper locking pin (2).
