DISASSEMBLY
The shock assembly must be removed from vehicle for it to be disassembled and assembled.
For shock assembly disassembly and assembly, use of shock Spring Compressor, Pentastar Service Equipment (PSE) tool W-7200, or equivalent, is
recommended to compress coil spring. Follow manufacturer's instructions closely.
WARNING: Do not remove shock shaft nut before coil spring is compressed. Coil spring is held under pressure and must be compressed,
removing spring tension from upper and lower mounts, before shock removal.
1. Position shock assembly coil spring (1) on hooks (2) of Compressor following manufacturers instructions. Install clamp securing shock to lower
spring coil.
2. Position Compressor upper hooks (1) on upper coil spring (2) following manufacturers instructions. To ease installation, rotate shock as necessary
positioning shock in compressor so that upper spring coil ends (step in upper mount) at straight outward position from Compressor.
3. Compress coil spring until all spring tension is removed from upper mount.
