CHECKING THE SPHERICAL BEARINGS
1. Check the play of the spherical bearing by hand.
→ If the spherical bearing can be moved without resistance, the spherical bearing should be replaced.
CHANGING THE SPHERICAL BEARINGS
1. Put the pin of the disassembly tool from one side
into the spherical bearing.
2. Push the counter sleeve of the disassembly tool
on the other side of the spherical bearing onto
the pin of the disassembly tool.
3. Press out the spherical bearing by compressing
the disassembly tool.
A vice, a hand press or the like can be used for
pressing.
4. Clean the eye of the shock with a degreaser
and put a small amount of high-strength thread
locker onto the inner surface of the shock's eye.
5. Position the spherical bearing in the shock eye so
that the gap in the plastic ring is offset by 90° to
the axis of motion of the shock.
6. Press in the new spherical bearing using the
assembly tool.
A vice, a hand press or the like can be used for
pressing in.
7. Take the tools and the shock out of the vice.
8. Remove excess threadlocker with a degreaser.
9. Check whether the spherical bearing is in the middle of the shock eye.
10. Check the spherical bearing again (see "Checking the spherical bearings" on page 24).
