   • It could cause the hook to slip off and the spring to fly out, which could result in an injury.
   • 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.
   • 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 SST as shown in the illustration.
   • If a hook disengages from the coil spring, the coil spring may fly out, resulting in injury.
