2. Position the shock assembly in the strut coil spring compressor following the manufacturer's instructions. Set the lower hooks and install the clamp
on the lower end of the coil spring, so the shock is held in place once the shock shaft nut is removed. Rotate the shock assembly so the upper
control arm ball joint sits directly below the front upper hook as shown. Position the upper hooks on top of the upper mounting bracket.
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE THE SHOCK ROD NUT BEFORE THE COIL SPRING IS COMPRESSED. THE COIL SPRING IS
HELD UNDER PRESSURE AND MUST BE COMPRESSED, REMOVING SPRING TENSION FROM THE UPPER MOUNTING
BRACKET BEFORE THE ROD NUT IS REMOVED.
3. Compress the coil spring until all coil spring tension is removed from the upper mounting bracket.
4. Hold the shock rod from rotating using special socket Snap-On A136, or an equivalent, and remove the retainer nut.
