Disassembly/Inspection 

1. Compress strut spring with appropriate available strut spring compressor (A), according to the 

manufacturer's instructions. See Fig. 36 . Remove the self-locking nut (B) while holding the damper shaft 
(C) with a hex wrench (D). DO NOT compress the spring more than necessary to remove the nut.  

2. Release pressure from strut spring compressor, disassemble strut. See Fig. 33 .  

3. Reassemble all parts, except for the spring. Compress strut assembly by hand, and check for smooth 

operation through a full stroke, both compression and extension. The strut should extend in a smooth, 
continuous motion when compression is released. If it does not (no compression or no extension), gas is 
leaking, and strut should be replaced. See Fig. 37
