How should you safely drain oil from gas charged shock absorbers on Buick LeSabre?

The safety risk of personal injury from high pressure gas can be avoided by not removing the snap ring from inside the shock absorber tube because gas charged shock absorbers contain high pressure gas. For safety reasons put on protective eyewear when performing centerpunching and drilling on the shock absorber and maintain the shock tube from puncture during the process. Drill a 0.4 inch indentation at the tube bottom section through centerpunching 10 mm beyond the starting point. Set the shock absorber rod at its full extension before putting the absorber in a vise horizontal position. Drill holes into the centerpunch using a 5 mm (3/16 inch) drill bit to let either gas or gas/oil mixture escape while using shop towels to collect the oil in both operations. The second hole will be drilled at the centerpunch position within the tube using the 5 mm drill bit while shop towels function to collect the oil during this process. The vise-released shock absorber needs to be positioned horizontally over the drain pan with its holes oriented downwards for emptying all oil from the tube by moving the rod back and forth.

How to service and repair the front coil springs and shock absorber on Buick LaCrosse?

In order to service and repair the suspension strut, start by removing the strut from the vehicle. Mount the strut in the strut spring compressor (J 45400) and don't let the spring run free when the strut moves. Spin the spring compressor forcing screw until the coil spring is compressed. Use a spanner 45 torx(R) socket to hold the strut shaft while removing the upper strut mount nut using the strut rod nut socket (J 42991). Remove the strut from strut spring compressor (J 45400) and loosen compressor forcing screw to remove the upper strut mount and coil spring. Next, re-install the coil spring and upper strut mount back into the strut spring compressor (J 45400) and compress the coil spring once more. Mount the strut onto the coil spring and upper strut mounting, followed by the strut retaining nut using the strut rod nut socket (J 42991) and a 45 torx(R) socket by tightening the strut mount nut with 75 n.m (55 lb ft). Lastly, take the strut out of the strut spring compressor" (J 45400) and reinstall it back into the vehicle.

How to replace the front shock absorber on Buick Regal?

Begin the strut assembly replacement process by taking off the upper nuts of the struts first. A frame-contact vehicle lift should be used instead of a suspension-contact lift to perform the lifting process. After supporting the vehicle with stands follow by tire and wheel removal. Start by making a mark on the knuckle before removing the lower bolts and nuts from the strut so you can take out the strut. Install the strut first before performing any additional work according to the Fastener Notice in Service Precautions. After that, install both upper strut nuts, applying a torque of 33 Nm (24 ft. lbs.). The installation of strut lower bolts and nuts requires attention to their prevalent torque attribute allowing reuse under certain conditions of clean fasteners with rust-free counterpieces that reach 3 Nm (27 inch lbs.) torque vs. their counterparts before completion. otherwise, replace the fastener. Disc the strut to line up with the knuckle mark then torque the lower nuts to 122 Nm (90 ft. lbs.). Install the tire with the wheel and then lower the vehicle while performing front wheel alignment.
