- Holding the damper rod in a fixed position, remove the screws 3 (Fig. 6.10); - Remove the shock absorber spring mount (plug, upper support plate and so on. D.); - Remove the shock absorber buffer compression stroke cap, retaining ring support. Assembling the shock absorber is carried out in reverse order of removal. Wherein: - Before installing the shock absorber, remove all the air out of him and check his work. To do this, hold the lower end of the shock absorber in a vise, remove, and then drown shock-absorber rod. Reaction force must be constant throughout the course; - Suspension springs are color-coded. Always install a spring with a corresponding modification of the vehicle marking; - When changing the buffer of the compression stroke, use a new buffer corresponding to this modification of the car (the same form as the previous one); - Establishing buffer compression stroke of the shock absorber on the stem, make sure it is the correct orientation;
