d) Securing the rod end to the piston rod
The rod end of the gas-strut is glued onto the thread of the piston rod with
Loctite 638. The correct securing is marked by a red dot of marking paint
on piston rod and rod end. After removal of the gas-strut check if the
marking exists and not damaged.
If not, the rod end must be screwed off and glued on again.
Remove any remains of Loctite and any dirt according to the instructions
in section 4.9. To tighten the screwed connection, hold the piston rod
against rotation using a small pipe wrench, wrap a piece of fine emery
cloth around the end of the piston rod to protect the rod.
In addition the rod end is secured with a roll pin 2.5x14 DIN 7346 St, see
sketch.
