Disassembly/Inspection Compress the damper spring with a commercially available strut spring compressor (Branick MST-580A or Model 7200, or equivalent) (A) according to the manufacturer's instructions, then remove the self-locking nut (B) while holding the damper shaft with a hex wrench (C). Do not compress the spring more than necessary to remove the self-locking nut. Release the pressure from the strut spring compressor, then disassemble the damper as shown in the Exploded View. Reassemble all parts, except the spring. |
