  10. REMOVE REAR SHOCK ABSORBER WITH COIL SPRING


    1. B006ERM

      Loosen the lock nut.

      CAUTION:


      • 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.

      B006CN3

      Note

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

      Tech Tips

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

    2. B006EWGN01

      Using SST, remove the nut B.

      SST
      09249-37010

      Tech Tips

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

    3. Remove the 2 nuts A from the rear shock absorber with coil spring (upperside).

      Tech Tips

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

    4. B006A2Q

      Remove the nut from the rear shock absorber with coil spring (lower side).

    5. B006C1VC01
      B006DHE Remove in this Direction (1)
      B006B42 Remove in this Direction (2)

      Remove the rear shock absorber with coil spring and washer as shown in the illustration.

  11. REMOVE REAR SHOCK ABSORBER ASSEMBLY LH


    1. B006CZAN01

      Secure SST in a vise.

      SST
      09727-30022   ( 09727-00010, 09727-00022, 09727-00031 )

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

      CAUTION:


      • B006BVTC06
        *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.

      • B006DI6

        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.

      • B006F14

        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. B006B5CC04
      *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. B006AM0C01
      *a Vehicle Nut

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

      SST
      09727-30022   ( 09727-00090, 09727-00100 )

    5. Using SST, compress the coil spring.

      CAUTION:


      • B006DKX

        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.

      • B006B7C

        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.

      • B006F1M

        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.

      • B006CWYN03

        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.

      SST

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

      CAUTION:


      • 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. B006G7UC05
      *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.
