Step One
Removing a suspension module from the plinth.
- Unscrew the upper cover.
- With one hand lift the plinth, hold the lower cover with the other.
- Pull the module out from under the plinth and use the upper cover to gently seat the plinth
on.
STEP TWO
Pre-loading the spring.
Note 1: The spring holder has a deep thread to offer a positive hold of the spring.
Note 2:The reference to clockwise or counter-clockwise must always take into account viewing the
spring from above.
Note 3: By hand the spring can only be rotated counter-clockwise in its holder but, using pliers, it
can be held near the tip at the wider end. It is then possible to move it backwards. If this can not
be done, rotate the spring counter-clockwise until it comes out and thread it back in from under
the holder to the recommended adjustment. Carefully install the spring so it is threated straight in
the holder.
- Adjust the spring so three coils are showing below the holder.
Note 4: Before installing the spring back into the module pull on the spring at the wider end to
stretch it, this will have the effect of allowing it to seat well in the thread.
STEP THREE
Preparing the spring module
Note: The upper spring damper ismounted on a nylon sleeve.
- Install the two felt dampers in a criss-cross pattern in the slotted section of the stem.
- Install the upper spring damper over the stem.
- Install the sorbothane damper over the spring holder and seat it well around the lip.
- Install the spring assembly over the upper spring damper.
