Remove
- Remove the LH rear wheel. See . Wheel (Remove and Install)
- Remove the rear suspension cover. See . Cover - Rear Suspension - LH (Remove and Replace)
- Install a spring compressor onto the LH rear suspension spring:
Warning
Springs in a compressed state are under large amounts of energy. Refer to the Tool Profile for the spring compressor kit prior to performing this step for additional warnings and cautions.
-
Place the top plate onto the coils near the top of the spring. Make sure the top plate sits flush with the coil and will not move out of place.
-
Hold the bottom plate under the rear lower control arm so that the hole in the suspension and the hole in the bottom plate are aligned.
-
Insert the compression rod upwards through the bottom plate and the hole in the suspension. Continue pushing the compression rod upwards through the spring until the top goes through the cutouts in the top plate.
Note
-
The top of the compression rod has the notches and the bottom of the compresson rod has the fastener head.
-
Twist the compression rod so that the tabs on the top of the compression rod lock into the notches in the top plate.
-
Maneuver the bottom plate so that the plate aligns with the spring cup protrusion on the lower control arm.
-
Carefully compress the spring by tightening the fastener head (19 mm) on the bottom of the compression rod just until the spring becomes unseated from the body.
Warning
While compressing the spring, continuously check to make sure the spring compressor tool remains in place.
- Remove the bolt that attaches the brake rotor to the hub.
- Note
Use of the following tool(s) is recommended:
- 10 mm socket
- 2 in
