Disassembly - Branick 7600 Installation, Operation & Repair Parts Information

Step 2. Disassembly
 If the strut assembly is difficult to compress or the spring bows or
tilts, release tension and reposition the strut assembly.
 Keep fingers and hands clear of the upper hook area at all times.
A) With the strut assembly properly positioned, turn handles to compress spring until the bottom coil of spring
is just free of the lower spring seat. DO NOT OVER COMPRESS THE SPRING!
B) Secure strut to spring with the clamp to prevent strut from dropping out unexpectedly.
C) Mark upper strut parts to aid in reassembly.
 Use extreme care when working with a compressed spring.
 Never remove the piston rod nut when there is any spring pressure
on the lower spring seat.
D) Working from the right side when facing strut compressor, remove the piston rod nut.
E) Remove the clamp while holding strut. Carefully remove strut and related parts.
F) Service or replace strut as required. It is not necessary to release spring from tool when servicing strut
only.
NOTE: When replacing top spring seat or spring, make note of the position of the spring seat and spring before
releasing spring from tool. Replace new strut parts in tool in the same position as the old.
