3.1.

Remove strut from vehicle according to procedures recommended in the manufacturer’s manual

3.1.1.   Put the jaws into position and engage them on the spring as far apart as possible
3.1.2.

Put the AK3843 body into position as shown in fig.1, (A =MacPherson strut), tighten the lower jaws around 
the lowest part of the spring using the locking ring (fig.1B).

3.1.3.

Ensure that the jaws are correctly aligned, making sure the two arms are parallel to each other, see fig.2.

3.1.4.

Tighten compressor by turning the two 19mm hex adjuster bolts (fig.1D) clockwise using a suitable 
wrench. The coil will need to be compressed equally on each side - alternate between each arm so as 
to not unbalance the spring. Compress the spring without allowing it to  become coil bound.

withdraw the spring.
