REASSEMBLY

1. INSTALL REAR SHOCK ABSORBER





(a) Install the insulator lower, as shown in the illustration.
(b) Install the spring bumper.





(c) Using SST, compress the coil spring.
SST: 09727-30021

NOTE: Do not use an impact wrench. It will damage SST.





(d) Install the coil spring to the rear shock absorber.

HINT:
- Fit the lower end of the rear coil spring into the gap of the lower seat.
- If the rear coil spring is compressed at an angle, using 2 SST will make the work easier.





(e) Install the LH support suspension.

NOTE: Align the notches of the piston rod and the LH support suspension as shown in the illustration before installing the LH support suspension.





(f) Align the LH support suspension with the shock absorber lower bracket, as shown in the illustration.

HINT: Set the LH support suspension so that the protruding part of the LH support suspension faces outside.





(g) Install the collar to the piston rod.
(h) Temporarily install a new nut.
(i) Remove SST.
