3. Position a large C-Clamp (3) adjacent to the spring clinch clip (1) and clamp the leaves of the spring together
CAUTION: When working on the front leaf spring clinch clamps finish the front before starting on the rear to prevent personal injury.
4. Use an appropriate pry bar (2) to bend open the spring clinch clip (1). If necessary, remove the existing spring clinch clip isolators.
5. Use the pry bar (2) to spread apart the leaf (1). The clearance between the leaves should be enough to remove the old liner (if necessary) and
install the replacement liner.
6. If necessary, remove the old spring tip liner (1).
Installation
INSTALLATION
1. With the prybar still inserted between the leaves, install a new spring tip liner onto the leaf.
2. Firmly seat the spring tip liner onto the leaf. A C-Clamp (1) can be used to compress the adjacent leaves together which will seat the liner retaining
pin into the hole.
NOTE: The spring tip liner is properly installed when the retaining pin is pointing toward the pavement and the wear pad is contacting
the leaf spring.
