Start the procedure by loosening the Leaf Spring to spring shackle mounting bolt (N/A) together with the nut (N/A), next go ahead and remove the shock absorber lower mounting bolt (N/A) and nut (N/A), keep the axle supported so the brake hose remains off the surface to stop damage.

The installation process starts with spring shackle mounting to the frame after which follows spring shackle mounting bolt (N/A) and spring shackle mounting nut (N/A).

    A:
    Service and repair of the shackle starts with removing the rear spring from the fastener. The service and repair process requires first removing the shackle nut followed by separating the shackle bolt before pulling off the shackle from the frame. Installation requires you to connect the shackle to the frame and implement the shackle bolt as described by the Fastener Notice in Service Precautions. Secure the shackle nut after the bolt installation. Tighten both components to 140 Nm (103 ft. lbs.). After installation of the rear spring onto the shackle tighten the nut to a torque of 100 Nm which equals 74 ft. lbs.
