DISASSEMBLY
NOTE
Some springs have two leaves and eight plates, and others

the same way. This procedure covers the spring with eight
plates.
Only the two leaves of the spring can be replaced. Damaged
plates require replacement of whole spring.

clips (4). Discard nuts (1) and screws (8).
WARNING
Leaves and plates of assembled spring are under tension.
Restrain all leaves and plates while removing center bolt.
Release tension slowly. Failure to do so may result in injury to
personnel.
