Front Damper/Spring Disassembly, Inspection, and Reassembly

Exploded View

NOTE: When compressing the damper spring, use a commercially available strut spring compressor (Branick MST-580A or Model 7200, or equivalent)
according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Disassembly

1. Compress the damper spring, then remove the self-locking nut (A) while holding the damper shaft with a hex wrench (B). Do not compress the

damper spring more than is necessary to remove the self-locking nut.

2. Release the pressure from the strut spring compressor, then disassemble the damper as shown in the Exploded View.
