Shock absorber elements
1 - shock absorber; 2 - spring; 3 - protective cover; 4 - buffer; 5 - shock absorber cup; 6 - top sleeve «A»; 7 - upper spring cups; 8 - sleeve; 9 - top support of the rack; 10 - top sleeve «IN»; 11 - washer; 12 - nut; 13 - protective cap.
Disassembly
Using a screwdriver blade as a lever, remove the protective cap.
Using the tool, compress the spring so that it moves away from the top. When using a special device for spring compression, make sure that the coils of the spring are securely gripped and the spring is compressed from opposite sides.
Lock the shock absorber rod from turning with a wrench and, using the second wrench, unscrew the shock absorber rod fastening nut.
After removing the washer, remove the top bushing «IN» .
Remove the top stand support.
Remove the top spring cup.
Remove the top sleeve «A».
Remove the shock absorber cup sleeve, protective cover, compression stroke buffer.
Remove the spring together with the spring compressor.
Check the smoothness of the stroke under full compression and extension. The rod should move without jerking and jamming.
WARNING: The rear shock absorber has a tensile force (A) must be greater than when compressed (B).
Check for oil leaks from stem seals and welds. The stem must not be deformed or damaged.
Assembly
If a new spring is being installed, compress it with a tool and install it on the shock absorber.
Align the bottom coil of the spring with the notch in the spring seat.
Install the compression stroke buffer guard, then align the top coil of the spring with the notch in the top cup and install the cup.
Install sleeve, upper bushing «A» and top spring cup.
Install the upper strut mount so that the axle of the lower shock absorber bushing (1) coincided with the line between the bolts of the upper support when viewed from above.
Screw on and pre-tighten the self-locking nut.
Remove the spring compressors and finally tighten the self-locking nut.
CAUTION: Do not use an impact wrench when tightening the special tool bolt.
