1. Remove the telescopic strut from the vehicle (see "Removal and installation a telescopic stand").
2. Clamp the telescopic stand in a vice, compress the spring with special clamps for compressing springs...
3. ...and unscrew the shock absorber rod nut using the tool, holding the shock absorber rod from turning.
4. Remove the upper support travel limiting washer of the telescopic strut.
5. Remove the upper support of the telescopic stand.
6. Remove the upper support bearing of the telescopic strut...
7. ... limiter of compression stroke of the upper support of the telescopic strut...
8. ...the upper cup of the spring...
9. ...the upper insulating spring gasket...
10. ...and remove the spring from the shock absorber strut.
11. Remove the compression buffer and protective cover from the shock absorber rod.
12. Inspect the telescopic stand parts.
13. Replace the damaged compression buffer and damaged protective cover.
14. Replace the bearing if it has axial movement in the support housing or if it jams when turning.
15. Replace the upper support if you notice signs of aging of its rubber.
16. Replace the spring if cracks are found or the coils are deformed. To compress the spring, press it three times until the coils touch. Then apply a load of 3356 N (342 kgf) to the spring. Compress the spring along its axis, the support surfaces should correspond to the surfaces of the support cups on the telescopic stand. If the length of the spring with brown marking (class A) is less than 230 mm, replace it with a blue marking (class B).
17. Assemble the telescopic strut and install it on the vehicle in the reverse order of disassembly. Place the protective cover on the annular groove of the compression stroke buffer. Install the spring so that its ends rest against the protrusions of the lower and upper cups.
18. Final tighten the shock absorber rod nut with the vehicle parked on the surface.
