Air Spring Service
Retaining rings have a sharper-edged side and a rounder-edged side.
Install retaining rings with the sharper-edged side facing the tool to allow
for easier installation and removal.
Push the air shaft into the upper tube to prevent it from getting scratched
while installing the retaining ring.
Place the tips of the retaining ring pliers into the eyelets of the retaining
ring, then use the pliers to push the seal head into the upper tube while
installing the retaining ring into the groove.
Hold the retaining ring in place and seat the retaining ring eyelets on
either side of the seal head tab. The tab of the air shaft guide should be
positioned between the retaining ring eyelets.
NOTICE
Do not scratch the air spring shaft. Scratches on the air shaft will allow air
to bypass the air shaft guide into the lower leg. Scratches can result in
reduced spring performance.
Confirm the retaining ring is properly seated in the retaining ring groove
by using the retaining ring pliers to rotate the retaining ring and air shaft
guide back and forth a few times, then firmly pull down on the air shaft.
