Clean your shock absorber with a washing machine if you have one
available.
Otherwise, use the high pressure cleaner and finish cleaning with hot
water and soap.
Absolutely prohibited : any aggressive product such as
degreaser on joints and spherical bearing. If you use a high-
pressure washer, never direct the jet directly onto the
joints. Regularly remove any soil that may accumulate in the rubber
stop.
PREREQUISITE
1) Before any dismantling, make sure to note down your compression
(1)/rebound(2) and preload(3) settings on a notebook.
To do this, count the number of clicks until the position is completely closed.
Once the setting has been noted, unscrew your settings completely for
operations on your shock absorber.
2) Once the pre-load value has been noted, unscrew the clamp against nut and
then the pre-load nut until the spring is free.
3) Remove the retaining ring (5) from the cup (4)
and remove it and the spring.
