Trunk / Liftgate Shock / Support: Procedures
DISPOSAL
HINT: On the RH side, use the same procedures as on the LH side.
1. DISPOSE OF BACK DOOR STAY SUB-ASSEMBLY LH
a. Horizontally fix the stay in a vise with the piston-rod pulled out.
b. Wearing safety glasses, gradually cut a part between A and B as shown in the illustration using a metal saw to gradually release the gas.
NOTE: Although the gas inside the damper stay is colorless, odorless and harmless, there is a possibility that metal debris from cutting could
enter the assembly. Therefore, cover it with cloth or something similar.
