Disassembling And Assembling Spring Strut: Notes

NOTE: The greatest possible care and cleanliness, as well as perfect tools are important requirements for carrying out perfect repairs on air-spring struts. The general and basic rules of safety apply. These are specifically listed here again for repairing air-spring struts.

Thoroughly clean the connection points and their surroundings before loosening them.
Do not use fibre-shedding cloths.
Do not take spare parts out of the packaging until just before installation.
Only use lubricants that have part numbers.
Carefully cover components or seal them if repair work will not be carried out immediately.
Do not use an impact bolter.
