TYPICAL
Thoroughly clean, with a typical cleaning solution,
and blow dry using low pressure air. Carefully in-
spect the damper body for any imperfections or
signs of wear in the damper bore. Replace damp-
er body if wear is identified.
Holding the damper rod assembly in a bench vise,
begin piston and valve removal.
1. Damper shaft nut torque 11-13 N•m (96-108 lbf• in )
Always arrange parts removed in the sequence of
disassembly.
NOTE: As a general rule we suggest replac-
ing the damper rod lock-nut after 4 rebuilds
to ensure good locking friction.
NOTE: If revalving is to be done, it is imper-
ative that you identify the original shim pack
(size and number of shims). The seal carrier need
not be removed if only revalving is to be done.
Shims can be measured by using a vernier caliper
or a micrometer.
The damper rod is constructed of a plated shaft
design. This damper shaft must be inspected for
any visible wear on the surface of the damper rod.
Another check that must be completed if damper
seal leakage has been noticed, is damper rod
“run-out”. This damper rod must not exceed .025
mm (.001 in).
1. Maximum deflection 0.025 mm (.001 in)
