  5. SEPARATE REAR NO. 1 SUSPENSION ARM ASSEMBLY


    1. B002E6N

      Remove the bolt and nut, and separate the rear No. 1 suspension arm assembly from the rear axle assembly.

      Note

      Because the nut has its own stopper, do not turn the nut. Loosen the bolt with the nut secured.

  7. SEPARATE REAR SHOCK ABSORBER ASSEMBLY


    1. B002DG1C01
      *a Wooden Block
      *b Jack

      Support the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly using a jack and wooden block.

      Note


      • When jacking up the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly, be sure to jack it up slowly.

      • Make sure to perform this operation with the vehicle kept as low as possible.

    2. B002CJK

      Remove the bolt and nut, and separate the rear shock absorber assembly from the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly.

      Note

      Because the nut has its own stopper, do not turn the nut. Loosen the bolt with the nut secured.

  8. REMOVE REAR COIL SPRING


    1. B002DVGC01
      *a Wooden Block
      *b Transmission Jack

      Support the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly using a transmission jack and wooden block.

      CAUTION:


      • Do not raise the jack up too high.

      • The vehicle could fall, resulting in a serious accident.

      B002EYR

      Note


      • When jacking up the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly, be sure to jack it up slowly.

      • Make sure to perform this operation with the vehicle kept as low as possible.

    2. B002D7T

      Loosen the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly with the bolt (rear axle assembly side).

      Note


      • Because the nut has its own stopper, do not turn the nut. Loosen the bolt with the nut secured.

      • Do not remove the bolt and nut.

    3. B002EEFE01

      Attach the hooks of each SST arm across the diameter of the rear coil spring.

      SST
      09727-00120
      09727-30022   ( 09727-00010, 09727-00031 )

      CAUTION:


      • B002DMP

        Do not perform the work without checking to make sure that the claws of the hooks are securely engaged.

      • It could cause the hook to slip off and the spring to fly out, which could result in an injury.

      • B002E31

        Make sure that the hooks of the upper and lower arms are attached to the coil spring so that the distance between the hooks is as large as possible.

      • It could cause the hook to slip off and the spring to fly out, which could result in an injury.

    4. B002EDRC01
      *a Stopper Plate

      Install the stopper plates to the hooks of SST.

      CAUTION:


      • Make sure that the stopper plates are installed securely.

      • It could cause the hook to slip off and the spring to fly out, which could result in an injury.

    5. Using SST, compress the rear coil spring.

      CAUTION:


      • B002E4X

        If the coil spring bends while using SST, stop immediately and reattach SST correctly.

      • It could cause the hook to slip off and the spring to fly out, which could result in an injury.

      • B002F0G

        Do not compress the coil spring to the point where the coils touch each other.

      • It could cause the hook to slip off and the spring to fly out, which could result in an injury.

      • B002EMQ

        Do not use an impact wrench.

      • The threads may be stripped, or the sudden compression may result in slack that causes the hooks to slip off, causing the spring to fly out and possibly resulting in injury.

    6. Remove the bolt and nut, and separate the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly from the rear axle assembly.

      Note

      Because the nut has its own stopper, do not turn the nut. Loosen the bolt with the nut secured.

    7. Slowly lower the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly, and remove the rear coil spring with SST and rear upper coil spring insulator.

    8. Remove SST from the rear coil spring.

      Note

      Do not use an impact wrench. It will damage SST.

  9. REMOVE REAR UPPER COIL SPRING INSULATOR


    1. Remove the rear upper coil spring insulator from the rear coil spring.

  10. REMOVE REAR LOWER COIL SPRING INSULATOR


    1. Remove the rear lower coil spring insulator from the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly.
