3.1.
Remove strut from vehicle according to
procedures recommended in the manufacturer’s
service manual.
3.1.1. Rotate the lower jaw on each compressor screw
anticlockwise so that it is near to the bottom of
the thread.
3.1.2. The two compressor screws should be attached
to the spring directly opposite each other as
shown in fig.2.
3.1.3. Attach the first screw by opening the lower jaw
and placing it low down on the spring. Slide the
moving jaw upwards, open it and place it as
high as possible on the spring.
3.1.4. Ensure that the compressor screw is vertical
then rotate it clockwise until it makes contact
with the sprung washer on top of the upper jaw.
Do not put it under tension yet.
3.1.2. Attach the second compressor screw in the
same way ensuring that it is vertical and
opposite the first screw.
3.1.3. Make a final check that the jaws are correctly
aligned, and the two screws are parallel to each
other, see fig.2.
3.1.4. Commence compressing the spring by turning
the two screws clockwise using a suitable
24mm socket or spanner. 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.
3.1.5. When spring is fully 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.
3.1.6. Reverse above procedure to replace spring.
4.1.
Before each use check the compressor components to ensure they are not damaged or worn. If

regarding repair kits and spare parts.
4.2.
Keep the compressor screws lubricated.
4.3.
Keep the compressor components clean, and when not in use store in a safe, dry, childproof
location.
