Solo Air™:
Use a flat blade screwdriver to push the SA seal head tab under
the retaining ring.
Place your finger over the end of the air spring shaft to prevent it from
getting scratched while removing the retaining ring.
NOTICE
Scratches on the air shaft will allow air to bypass the seal head into the
lower leg, resulting in reduced spring performance.
Place the tips of large internal retaining ring pliers into the eyelets of the
retaining ring. Press firmly on the pliers to push the SA seal head into the
upper tube enough to compress and remove the retaining ring. Slide the
retaining ring onto your finger and release the air spring shaft.
Use your fingers to install the bottom bolt into the air shaft.
Firmly pull on the bottom bolt to remove the air shaft assembly from the
upper tube. Unthread and remove the bottom bolt from the air shaft. Clean
and inspect the assembly for damage.
Spray isopropyl alcohol on the inside and outside of the upper tube and
clean it with a rag.
Wrap a rag around a long dowel and insert it into the upper tube to clean
inside the upper tube.
