Caution: Increased risk of accidents due to spring tensioning.

Danger of injury and damage from springs jumping out.
--> Never use an impact bolter to loosen or tighten the fastening nut.
--> Use a commercially available changeover ratchet.
1. To prevent damage (deformation), clamp the spring strut in a suitable clamping block (tensioning device for MacPherson spring struts).
Alternatively, the spring clamp can also be held in a retaining device.
2. Pre-tension the coil spring using spring clamp for spring struts NR.121 until the piston rod is relieved. The appropriate forks must be inserted into
the spring clamp.
