procedure.
For the disassembly and assembly of the shock assembly, use strut spring compressor Pentastar Service Equipment (PSE) tool W-7200, or the
equivalent, to compress the coil spring. Follow the manufacturer's instructions closely.
DISASSEMBLY
1. If both shocks are being serviced at the same time, mark the coil spring and shock assembly according to which side of the vehicle the shock was
removed from, and which shock the coil spring was removed from.

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. Lower the upper hooks and position them on
the coil spring near the top.
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
