Tool 6864, on strut shaft nut. Use a deep well socket
inserted into the opening of tool 6864 to keep strut
shaft from turning. Tighten the strut shaft nut to a
torque of 75 N·m (55 ft. lbs.).
(8) Slowly release the tension from the coil spring
by backing off the compressor drive fully. As the ten-
sion is relieved, make sure the upper mount, spring,
and strut align properly.
(9) Remove the clamp from the lower end of the
coil spring and strut. Push back the spring compres-
sor upper and lower hooks, then remove the strut
assembly from the spring compressor.
