     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.

     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.
4. Install the stopper pins to the hooks of SST.
   WARNING:

   • Do not perform the work if the stopper pin is not securely installed.
   • 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 coil spring.
   WARNING:

     While compressing the spring, if the front 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.

     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.

     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.
