Warning:
Use the proper eye protection when drilling to
prevent metal chips from causing physical injury. |
| 1. |
Clamp the strut in a vise
horizontally with the rod (1) completely extended. |
| 2. |
Drill a hole in the strut at
the center of the end cap (3) using a 5 mm (3/16 in) drill
bit. Gas or a gas/oil mixture will exhaust when the drill bit
penetrates the strut. Use shop towels in order to contain the
escaping oil. |

Remove the strut from the
vise. |
| 4. |
Hold the strut over a drain
pan vertically with the hole down. |

Move the rod (1) in and out of
the tube (2) to completely drain the oil from the strut.
