DISPOSAL
1. DISPOSE BACK DOOR STAY ASSEMBLY LH
a. Fix the back door stay assembly, with the piston-rod pulled out, on a vise.
b. With protection glasses on, cut a part between A and B as shown in the illustration with a metal saw to release the gas.
NOTE: Although the gas inside the back door stay assembly is colorless, odorless and harmless, there is a possibility that cutting tips of the
metal saw would jump around, therefore cover it with cloth or something.
