OPERATION ADVICE
REMOVE THE MCPHERSON SPRING STRUT
•
Before each operation, the McPherson spring strut shall be uninstalled from vehicle by
proper means
•
Make sure to use the
RIGHT SIZE
of jaws. Select jaws according to the SCANGRIP appli-
cation car list on www.scangrip.com and mount on the spring compressor. Make sure the
spring is clean where the jaws are mounted on the windings. Wipe away grease and dirt.
•
Fit the retaining bolts and tighten firmly.
•
Rotate the drive nut to drive the jaws apart to match the length of the spring and to com-
press as many windings as possible.
•
Mount the compressor on a vise by clamping the front head of compressor as below.
•
Take care that the seating of the spring windings in the jaws is correct. Spring compressor
shall be in the centre of spring windings (see Figure B).
IMPORTANT
It is very important for your safety that the bolts of the jaws are
firmly tightened. Check bolt torque (60 Nm) periodically.
