BILSTEIN Strut
CAUTION:
- Before handling struts filled with gas, be sure to wear goggles to protect eyes from gas, oil and metal shavings.
- Do not disassemble the strut damper or throw into flames.
- When discarding gas filled struts, drill holes in them to purge the gas.
- Place the gas-filled strut on a level surface with the damping tube fully extended.
- Using a 2 - 3 mm (0.08 - 0.12 in) dia. drill, make the holes at (1) first, and then (2).
