Disassembly
1. Remove strut assembly requiring service from the vehicle.
2. Position strut assembly in a vise. Using paint or equivalent, mark the strut unit, lower spring isolator, spring and upper strut mount for indexing of the
parts at assembly.
CAUTION: When installing spring compressors on coil spring, do not position the spring compressors on the sleeves of the coil spring. Positioning
the spring compressors on the sleeves could cause the sleeve to dislodge from the coil spring when it is compressed. This would result in the required
replacement of the coil spring.
WARNING: Do not install the spring compressor on the coil spring in an area of the spring covered by a sleeve. If the sleeve moves when
compressing the spring, the spring could come out of compressor resulting in personal injury.
3. Position Spring Compressors, Special Tool C-4838, or equivalent on the strut assembly spring. Compress coil spring until all load is removed from
upper strut mount assembly.
4. Install Strut Rod Socket, Special Tool, L-4558, or equivalent on strut shaft nut. Use a 8 mm allen wrench inserted into end of strut shaft to keep strut
shaft from turning. Remove the nut from the strut shaft.
