CAUTION: The air supply must be free of any moisture.
CAUTION: If during disassembly the air sleeve is unrolled, the air sleeve may inflate incorrectly (to one side). If this occurs, release the
air pressure, and insert a suitable tool that will not damage the air sleeve or piston (a screw driver handle), into the side opposite the
bulge. Inflate and deflate until the air sleeve inflates correctly (the air sleeve will be uniform inside the shroud).
7. Using the special tool coupled to a tire inflator with a gauge, apply approximately 2 bar of air pressure to the air spring to fully seat the piston over
the O-ring seals.
8. Install the nylon retaining pin.
9. Install a new nut and tighten to 98 Nm (72 ft. lbs.).
