4. OPERATION
ti
4.1.
Remove strut from vehicle according to procedure recommended in the
manufacturer’s service instructions, or a proprietary manual.
4.2.
Undo the force screw on each compressor screw so that it is long enough to
compress as much of the spring length as is possible.
4.3.
The two compressor screws should be attached to the spring directly opposite each
other as shown in fig.1.
4.4.
Attach the first compressor screw by placing the lower jaw low down on the spring.
Slide the moving jaw upwards and place it as high as possible on the spring.
4.5.
Ensure that the compressor jaws are correctly aligned then rotate force screw
clockwise until the lower jaw contacts the spring.
4.6.
Attach the second compressor screw in the same way ensuring that it is parallel to
and opposite the first screw.
4.7.
Make a final check that the jaws are correctly aligned, and the two screws are
parallel to each other, see fig.1.
4.8.
Commence initial spring compression by equally rotating the bodies of the screw
compressors anticlockwise.
4.9.
Continue full compression of the spring by turning the force screws clockwise
using a suitable 19mm socket or spanner.
DO NOT
use air tools. 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.
4.10.
W
hen spring is sufficiently compressed and is free to rotate on the strut, remove
top plate from strut, then withdraw the spring.
DO NOT drop the compressed
spring assembly or subject it to any shock.
4.11.
Reverse the above procedure to replace spring.
