2. Position the strut assembly in the strut coil spring compressor following the manufacturers instructions. The strut clevis bracket should be
positioned outward. It will be necessary to turn the strut assembly so the steering arm will clear the compressor arm. Position the upper and lower
hooks on the coil spring, then place a clamp on the lower end of the coil spring, so the strut is held in place once the strut shaft nut is removed.
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE THE STRUT SHAFT NUT BEFORE THE COIL SPRING IS COMPRESSED. THE COIL SPRING IS
HELD UNDER PRESSURE AND MUST BE COMPRESSED, REMOVING SPRING TENSION FROM THE UPPER MOUNT AND PIVOT
BEARING, BEFORE THE SHAFT NUT IS REMOVED.
3. Compress the coil spring until all coil spring tension is removed from the upper mount.
