Apply a liberal amount of grease to the air piston.

Insert the air spring assembly into the upper tube. Firmly push the air

piston into the upper tube.

Insert the seal head into the upper tube and firmly press it into the

upper tube until it stops.

Retaining rings have a sharper-edged side and a rounder edged side.

Installing retaining rings with the sharper-edged side facing the tool

will allow for easier installation and removal.

Place the tips of the retaining ring pliers into the eyelets of the

retaining ring. Guide the retaining ring with your finger to prevent the

shaft from from getting scratched while installing the retaining ring.

Use the pliers to push the seal head into the upper tube while

installing the retaining ring into the groove. Release the retaining ring

pliers when the ring is fully seated in the groove.

Confirm the retaining ring is properly seated in the retaining ring

groove by using the retaining ring pliers to rotate the retaining ring

and seal head back and forth a few times, then firmly pull down on the

air shaft.

Do not scratch the air spring shaft. Scratches on the air shaft will

allow air to bypass the seal head into the lower leg, resulting in

reduced spring performance.
