Disassembling Rear Spring Strut

Pre-tension coil spring using spring clamp for spring struts Nr.121 until the piston rod is relieved.
Insert the appropriate forks in the spring clamp.
To loosen the connection between the piston rod and spring-strut mount, use a suitable socket-wrench insert, e.g. socket-wrench insert for ATF temp. switch assembly Nr.18 .
When loosening the connection, counter at the bolts on the spring-strut mount (screw hexagon nuts onto the bolts and use a suitable lever).
