1. DISPOSE OF BACK DOOR STAY ASSEMBLY
(a) Secure the back door stay assembly horizontally in a vise with the piston-rod pulled out.
(b) Wear safety glasses. Use a metal saw to slowly cut a groove between A and B shown in the illustration to release the gas.
NOTE: Although the gas inside the back door stay assembly is colorless, odorless, and harmless, metal debris may scatter. Therefore, cover
the back door stay assembly with a piece of cloth or other material.
