Prepare the tool for tightening of screw springs. In the course of removal of components remember their exact adjusting situation.

PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. Having removed a rack from the car, clear it outside of the accumulated dirt, then clamp vertically a vice. By means of special adaptation squeeze a screw spring, having completely unloaded plates. Track correctness of fixing of the tool on spring rounds (strictly adhere to instructions of manufacturers).
2. A wrench block a rod of the piston of rack-mount assembly from a provorachivaniye and give the top fixing nut.
3. Remembering the correct adjusting provision of components, remove a rubber pillow of the top support, the remote plug, the holder and the top plate of a spring.
4. Remove a screw spring, then the ring plug, the rubber buffer of the course of compression and the protective coupling from the shock-absorber piston. In case of need uncover the top part of the main case of the shock-absorber, then the lower plate of a spring.
5. Make sure of lack of traces of leak of liquid on the surface of the shock-absorber. Check a piston rod on all its length for existence of cavities, and the shock-absorber case - for existence of external deformations. Holding a rack vertically, check serviceability of its functioning, feats a piston rod at first from an emphasis against the stop, then short breakthroughs on 50 ÷ 100 mm. In both cases resistance to movement of a rod has to be equal and constant. In case of existence of breakthroughs or points of jamming, and also at any other signs of damage replace a faulty rack.
6. Check all remained assembly components for existence of signs of wear and damages. Special attention should be paid to a condition of a rubber pillow and a saddle of a spring. Replace defective components.
7. If removed, install into place the lower plate of a spring and latch the top cover of the shock-absorber.
8. Put on the buffer of the course of compression and the protective coupling the piston, then establish a screw spring, having tracked correctness of placement of its lower end face concerning a plate emphasis.
9. Having completely stretched the shock-absorber, install into place the top plate of a spring and develop it an emphasis in the necessary party in relation to a spring end face.
10. Install the ring plug, the holder of a spring, the remote plug and a rubber pillow of the top support. Screw a nut. Record a shock-absorber piston rod from a provorachivaniye and tighten a nut with the required effort.
11. Make sure of correctness of placement of a spring concerning an emphasis of the top and lower plates, then release the squeezing tool and remove it from a rack.
