1.Set the attachment A
(MB991793) to the spring compressor (special tool: MB991795)
as shown
in the figure.

|
2.Set the following special
tools to the strut assembly.
- Spring compressor (MB991793)
- Attachment A (MB991795)
- Upper plate (MB991794)
- Fixture (MB991830)
note |
Use the bolts and nuts removed
from the vehicle to secure the strut, and
tighten them
lightly by hand.
|
3.After setting the strut assembly, operate
the spring compressor and compress the coil
spring by approximately 5 mm.

4.
caution |
The locking nut for the piston
rod inside the strut may
be loose. Do not use the impact wrench to loosen
the strut nut.
|
Counterhold the piston rod, then use the wrench
(special tool: MB991681) to remove the
strut nut.

|
The gas must be discharged from the
strut before discarding it. Place the strut horizontally
with its piston rod extended. Then drill a hole of
approximately 3 mm in diameter at the location shown
in the illustration and discharge the gas.
|
|
1.Check that both of the
coil spring ends align with the spring seat groove
correctly.

2.
caution |
Be careful that the hand is
not pinched by the coil spring when
aligning the piston rod with the hole of upper
insulator while compressing the coil
spring.
|
While passing the strut piston rod through the hole
of upper insulator by hand, slowly
compress the coil spring by the following special
tool:
- Spring compressor (MB991793)
- Attachment A (MB991795)
- Upper plate (MB991794)
- Fixture (MB991830)

3.
caution |
The locking nut for the piston
rod inside the strut may
be loose. Do not use the impact wrench to loosen
the strut nut.
|
Counterhold the piston rod, then use the wrench
(special tool: MB991681) to tighten the
strut nut to the specified torque. Tightening
torque : 44 ± 5 N·m
