Removal
1. Remove the front wheels (see above).
2. Unscrew the shock absorber bolt.
3. Loosen the self-locking nut (12 mm), remove the fork bolt and remove the shock absorber fork.
4. Unscrew the upper nuts (8 mm) and (10 mm) and remove the shock absorber assembly.
To avoid confusing the left and right shock absorbers, mark them.
Disassembly
1. Install the shock absorber assembly on the spring compressor and compress the spring. Use a hex key and a special tool to loosen the self-locking nut.
For information on using the spring compressor, see the compressor operating instructions.
Caution: Do not compress the spring more than necessary.
2. Disassemble the shock absorber to the state shown in the figure.
Assembly
1. Install the bump stop, bump stop disc, dust boot, dust boot disc, bushing, and lower rubber bushing onto the strut. Install the spring by aligning the lower end of the spring with the step in the lower seat.
2. Install the spring rubber seat, shock absorber base, upper rubber bushing, washer and install the shock absorber assembly onto the spring compressor.
Install the shock absorber base as shown in the figure.
3. Compress the shock absorber until the end of the strut rod comes out of the hole in the washer installed on the base.
4. Install the new self-locking nut (12 mm) and tighten it to the required torque, securing the strut rod with an Allen key.
5. Remove the shock absorber assembly from the spring compressor.
Installation
1. Direct the protrusion on the shock absorber to the inside of the frame and pre-install the shock absorber on the frame by hand-tightening the nuts (8 mm) and (10 mm).
Do not confuse the left shock absorber with the right one.
2. Place the fork on the drive shaft, align the protrusion on the shock absorber with the groove on the fork and tighten the shock absorber bolt by hand.
3. Pre-install the shock absorber fork on the lower arm.
4. Raise the steering knuckle with a jack so that the weight of the car acts on the shock absorber.
Tightening of the rubber bushings is performed when the shock absorber is compressed under the weight of the car to the working condition.
5. Tighten the shock absorber bolt to the required torque.
6. Install the fork bolt and tighten the self-locking nut (12 mm) to the required torque.
7. Tighten the nuts (8 mm) and (10 mm), tightened by hand in step 1
8. Secure the brake hose to the shock absorber.
