REAR SUSPENSION
Bleed the gas by pressing on the reservoir valve.
To protect his eyes from possible particles, the operator must turn
the valve away from his eyes.
Removing the reservoir plug and the valve
Fit a tool on the air chambre cover, then exert a pressure on both the cover and
the tool to gain access to the snap ring.
Exercise the greatest care, and exert the pressure by your hands when
carrying out this operation.
Use two small screwdrivers to remove the snap ring, and take care not to da-
mage the inner surface.
To remove the snap ring, place first one ring end outside the groove. Remove the
other ring end, insert one screwdriver between the snap ring and the reservoir,
and lever by the other screwdriver. Remove the whole snap ring, and check
that the grooves on the reservoir body have no burrs; on the contrary, rectify the
grooves to smooth their surface.
Tighten a tube with internal thread, then remove the plug using pliers.
