There are four nuts and bolts securing the bottom
spring plate
to
the suspension lower links, the nuts
being
of
the self-locking type. Unscrew the nuts from
two diagonally opposite bolts. Remove these bolts and
insert the two slave bolts in the vacated holes. Screw
their nuts down securely and then remove the remaining
two short bolts. Unscrew the nuts from the slave bolts,
each a little
at
a time. When the spring is fully
ex-
tended, release the bolts and remove the spring plate
and coil spring.
Checking the Spring: The spring should be checked
for a correct free length as given on page
H/
1.
The
spring should be renewed
if
there
is
any excessive
variation in its correct length.
Refitting the Coil Spring

fit the slave bolts
