      CAUTION:
      B004UDN

      • Only loosen the lock nut, do not remove it.

      • If the lock nut is removed with the rear coil spring under tension, components of the rear shock absorber with coil spring may fly off.

      Note:

      If the rear shock absorber with coil spring will not be disassembled, do not loosen the lock nut.

      Tip:

      If the nut is hard to see, use a mirror.

    2. B004SM0N01

      Using SST, remove the nut B.

      09249-37010
      Tip:

    REMOVE REAR SHOCK ABSORBER ASSEMBLY LH


    1. B004Y6UN01

      Secure SST in a vise.

      09727-30022 09727-00010 09727-00022 09727-00031

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

      CAUTION:

      • B004SCEC06
        *a Rear Coil Spring Diameter

        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.

      • B004RLX

        Do not install SST to the rear coil spring unless its top and bottom hook distance is set to the widest condition.

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

      • B004WRL

        Do not install SST when the distances between the SST arms or the number of coils of the coil spring between the hooks are not the same.

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

    3. B004YFUC04
      *a Stopper Pin

      Install the stopper pins to the hooks of SST.

      CAUTION:

      Do not perform the work if the stopper pin is not securely installed.

    4. B004TCTC01
      *a Vehicle Nut

      Install SST and 2 vehicle nuts to the upper support as shown in the illustration.

      09727-30022 09727-00090 09727-00100

    5. Using SST, compress the coil spring.

      CAUTION:

      • B004VXE

        While compressing the spring, if the rear coil spring starts to bend into a bow shape, do not continue the work.

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

      • B004WO6

        Do not compress the springs so far that the coils of the springs touch each other.

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

      • B004TTA

        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.

      • B004V7FN03

        If a stopper pin touches the coil spring while using SST, remove the stopper pin and continue with the procedure.

      • If a stopper pin is removed, install a coil spring stopper belt as shown in the illustration.

      09727-00110

    6. Check that the rear coil spring has become free, and remove the rear support to rear shock absorber lock nut.

      CAUTION:
      B004RSI

      • If the rear coil spring has not become free, do not remove the rear support to rear shock absorber lock nut.

      • The spring force will cause the components to be scattered, possibly resulting in injury.

    7. B004YGWC05
      *a Rear Shock Absorber Assembly LH Claw
      *b End of Rear Upper Coil Spring Insulator

      Remove the rear suspension support assembly from the rear shock absorber assembly LH.

      Note:

      Turn the rear suspension support assembly to disengage the end of the rear upper coil spring insulator from the rear shock absorber assembly LH claws.

    8. Remove the rear upper coil spring insulator from the rear suspension support assembly.

    9. Remove the rear No. 1 spring bumper from the rear suspension support assembly.

    10. Remove the rear coil spring and SST.

      Note:

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

    11. Remove the rear lower coil spring insulator from the rear shock absorber assembly LH.
