Dampers
Each of the 4 dampers are secured to the outer tub 
by a
 gray upper bushing
 that locks in a slot in the 
outer tub. Each damper is held to the chassis with a 
plastic pin.
To remove the dampers:
Caution: Do not twist the damper cylinder by 
hand to remove. Stress may result in the damper 
developing noise at a later date.
Rotate the gray upper bushing a quarter-turn 
clockwise (as viewed from the top) using a 6-in. 
adjustable crescent wrench with a jaw opening 
of approximately 
7
/
8 
 inch.
Compress and remove the damper from the slot 
in the outer tub.
