Coil Spring Replacement
!WARNING
Coil Springs on a shock are compressed and contain high energy. The coil spring must be removed from the shock correctly by a person who has knowledge and experience in how to do this safely. The spring, if not handled properly can suddenly release its energy causing bodily harm to the worker and anyone nearby.
Refer to Figure 2:
IMPORTANT: Coil spring must be compressed by a person who has proper knowledge on how to safely remove the spring from the shock.
1.Compress coil spring (#4) 1/2" to 3/4" with a mechanical device that will safely hold the spring in its compressed state.
2.Unscrew threaded spacer (#1). Make note that the threads on the spacer are not full length and that the end without threads goes on the rod first.
3.Remove spring cap (#2) and spring keeper (#3).
4.Slowly release compression from coil spring (#4), and remove coil spring.
5.Make sure bump stop (#6), plastic washer (#7) and steel washer (#8) stay on the shock (#9).
6.Insert small end of high rate coil spring (#10) onto the shock against plastic washer (#7).
7.Compress spring overall length to be between 7 1/4" and 7 1/2" length with a mechanical device that will safely hold the spring at this length. When compressed, the spring will contain 315 to 345 lbs. of compressed force.
8.Install spring keeper (#3) and spring cap (#2) over end of spring.
9.Insert non threaded end of threaded spacer (#1) over rod end (#5) and then screw it on completely until the spring cap (#2) has bottomed out against the rod stepped surface.
10.Release coil spring and check spring length. If spring length is not 7 7/8", then the threaded spacer (#1), spring cap (#2) and spring keeper (#3) were not properly installed and should be reinstalled.
