Removing the right-hand air shock
absorber:
1. Disconnect the washer from electrical supply.
2. Remove the front access panel.
3. Remove air shock securement pins by
depressing locking tab while pulling pin to
remove.
This procedure is much easier if a deep 1/2", 6
point socket (or 13 millimeter, 6 point) is used
to compress the locking tab of the plastic pin.
Push the socket onto the tapered end of the pin
as far as it will go to compress the locking tab.
4. Use pliers to grasp head of pin and pull to
remove. As the pin is removed the socket will
drop free.
5. When replacing the air shock make sure to
position it with the bell end facing downward.
