1. Apply Tooling (D) onto the taper of suspension cylinder (1) . Use Tooling (B) and a suitable
lifting device to install spindle (2) onto suspension cylinder (1) . The weight of spindle (2) is
approximately 455 kg (1003 lb).

2. Measure the thickness of retainer plate (5) . Record the result as Dimension (X) .
4. Install three bolts (4) , equally spaced. Tighten bolts (4) to a torque of 203 ± 27 N·m (150 ± 20
lb ft).
5. Use Tooling (E) to measure the distance between the bottom of the strut rod and the outside
face of retainer plate (5) . Record the result as Dimension (Y) .
6. Subtract Dimension (X) from Dimension (Y) and record the result as Dimension (Z) .
7. Subtract 4.19 ± 0.03 mm (0.1650 ± 0.0012 inch) from Dimension (Z) . Record the difference
between the two measurements as Dimension (ZZ) .
9. Install a number of shims (6) that are equal to Dimension (ZZ) . Install retainer plate (5) . Install
bolts (4) .
10. Tighten bolts (4) one at a time. Do not exceed tightening bolts (4) more than one half turn at a
time. Tighten bolts (4) in a circular pattern. Continue this procedure until bolts (4) are tightened
to a torque of 1085 ± 34 N·m (800 ± 25 lb ft).
