How should one safely handle gas charged shock absorbers during maintenance on Buick Enclave?

The snap ring within your gas charged shock absorber tube contains high pressure gas so removing it poses a safety risk of severe gas expulsion. Safety glasses and caution toward the shock absorber tube should be used to prevent injuries when performing spot drilling and center punching activities. A centerpunch should create a 10 mm (0.4 in) long indentation at the tube bottom prior to processing. Place the shock absorber inside a vise with its rod extended while keeping it horizontal position. Drill a 5 mm (3/16 in) hole at the centerpunch location while exhaust gas with potential oil mixture escapes through shop towels for containment. The second hole needs drilling at the middle centerpunch indentation using a 5 mm (3/16 in) bit to drain the shock absorber oil while shop towels protect against eventual liquid spillage. After releasing the shock absorber from the vise angle it with drain holes facing down and insert the shaft to pull out all remaining fluid from the tube.

What Tools Are Required to Service and Repair the Shock Absorber on Buick Regal?

For servicing and repairing the suspension strut, the following tools and equipment are necessary: Strut Spring Compressor (J 34013-B), Damper Rod Clamp (J 34013-20), Alignment Rod (J 34013-197), Upper Strut Adapter (J 34013-125), Lower Strut Adapter (J 3401 Start by taking the strut off the vehicle and mounting it to the Strut Spring Compressor (J 34013-B) with the use of wing nuts at the mounting holes C and E/K, with the wide end of the adapter facing outboard. Bring the Lower Strut Adapter (J 34013-971) and Upper Strut Adapter (J 34013-125) into alignment for proper opening and closing. Install the strut in the adapters, close them and mount locking pins through the holes on the Strut Spring Compressor (J 34013-B) as well as the strut's mounting holes. Care to prevent excess spring compression and tool failure. Unscrew Strut Spring Compressor (J 34013-B) opposite of clockwise to lift the strut and compress the spring by 13mm (0.50inch) or 3-4 full rotations. Remove the strut nut, using the strut rod nut socket (j 42991), while holding the shaft with a T-45 TORX(R) bit and discard the strut nut and relieve the spring compression. To assemble, fasten the strut to the Strut Spring Compressor (J 34013-B) once again, and install the spring with correct positions of the upper and lower spring seats. Compress the spring slowly while threading the strut shaft through the top of the spring while ensuring that the Alignment Rod (J 34013-197) is straight with the strut. Install a new strut nut to the strut rod, torque to 75 Nm (55 ft. lbs.) with the Strut Rod Nut Socket (J 42991) while holding the shaft with a T-45 TORX® bit. Lastly, take all tools out of the Strut Spring Compressor (J 34013-B) and return the strut to the automobile, then readjust the rear wheel alignment.

A:
For servicing and repairing the suspension strut, the following tools and equipment are necessary: Strut Spring Compressor (J 34013-B), Damper Rod Clamp (J 34013-20), Alignment Rod (J 34013-197), Upper Strut Adapter (J 34013-125), Lower Strut Adapter (J 3401 Start by taking the strut off the vehicle and mounting it to the Strut Spring Compressor (J 34013-B) with the use of wing nuts at the mounting holes C and E/K, with the wide end of the adapter facing outboard. Bring the Lower Strut Adapter (J 34013-971) and Upper Strut Adapter (J 34013-125) into alignment for proper opening and closing. Install the strut in the adapters, close them and mount locking pins through the holes on the Strut Spring Compressor (J 34013-B) as well as the strut's mounting holes. Care to prevent excess spring compression and tool failure. Unscrew Strut Spring Compressor (J 34013-B) opposite of clockwise to lift the strut and compress the spring by 13mm (0.50inch) or 3-4 full rotations. Remove the strut nut, using the strut rod nut socket (j 42991), while holding the shaft with a T-45 TORX(R) bit and discard the strut nut and relieve the spring compression. To assemble, fasten the strut to the Strut Spring Compressor (J 34013-B) once again, and install the spring with correct positions of the upper and lower spring seats. Compress the spring slowly while threading the strut shaft through the top of the spring while ensuring that the Alignment Rod (J 34013-197) is straight with the strut. Install a new strut nut to the strut rod, torque to 75 Nm (55 ft. lbs.) with the Strut Rod Nut Socket (J 42991) while holding the shaft with a T-45 TORX® bit. Lastly, take all tools out of the Strut Spring Compressor (J 34013-B) and return the strut to the automobile, then readjust the rear wheel alignment.
