DISASSEMBLY
NOTE: The shock assembly must be removed from the vehicle for it to be disassembled and assembled. See: Suspension Strut / Shock
Absorber/Service and Repair/Removal and Replacement/Rear Shock Absorber/Rear Shock Absorber, Coil-Over - Removal
For the disassembly and assembly of the shock assembly, use Strut Spring Compressor, team PSE tool 223-7400, or the equivalent, to compress the coil
spring. Follow the manufacturer's instructions closely.
WARNING: Do not remove the shock rod nut before the coil spring is properly compressed. The coil spring is held under pressure. The coil
spring must be compressed, removing spring tension from the upper mounting bracket, before the shock rod nut is removed.
1. If both shocks are being serviced at the same time, mark both the coil spring and shock assembly according to which side of the vehicle the shock
is being removed from.
2. Position the shock assembly (2) in the strut spring compressor (1) following the manufacturer's instructions and set the lower and upper hooks of
the compressor on the coil spring.
