Removal

PERFORMANCE ORDER

To remove a depreciation rack.
To remove a cap from a shock-absorber rod.
The screw spring is compressed. For release of the shock-absorber the spring has to be compressed even more to unload spring cups. To squeeze a spring a suitable szhimatel.

The nut of the shock-absorber can be weakened only at the compressed spring.

To clamp a support of a depreciation rack in a vice and to weaken a fastening nut on one turn by means of a face head or strongly curved cap key, not to unscrew.

To squeeze a spring a standard szhimatel. In the workshops MAZDA special adaptation is for this purpose used. To squeeze a spring approximately on 10 mm.

To insert a szhimatel into a spring so that he reliably clasped rounds of a spring and could not come off. To squeeze a spring in three points which are evenly located on a circle. The screw spring is subjected to big extent of compression therefore it is necessary to use only the reliable tool. Not to connect a spring by a wire at all. Danger of accident.

To unscrew a nut of fastening and to remove serially elements of a depreciation rack.

If replacement of a spring is required, it should be weakened slowly. If, on the contrary, only the shock-absorber has to be replaced, the spring remains in the compressed state. Check of the shock-absorber see in the Head Razborka of a back depreciation rack / removal and installation of the shock-absorber / a screw spring.
