1. Lower the back of the rear seat, remove the protective cap of the upper rack mount, located under the rear shelf.
2. Loosen the upper strut mounting nut, holding the shock absorber rod from turning, and remove the support washer with the upper cushion.
3. Engage first gear and set wheel chocks ("shoes") under the front wheels. Raise and jack up the rear of the vehicle. Remove the rear wheel.
Warning! Loosen and tighten the wheel bolts only with the vehicle on the ground. Bolt tightening torque 65–95 Nm (6.5–9.5 kgf·m).
4. Loosen the nut on the bottom of the strut and remove the bolt.
5. Lower the strut down and remove the lower cushion with the support washer and spacer from the shock absorber rod through the coils of the spring.
6. Push the shock absorber down.
7. Remove spring with protective boot, cover and compression buffer.
8. Take out a rack from a niche of a back wheel.
9. Remove the insulating gasket from the upper spring seat (if she didn't stay on the spring).
10. Slide the compression buffer onto the shock absorber.
11. Fasten the stand and put on the protective cover with a cover. Pull out the shock absorber rod and install the lower cushion with the support washer and spacer on it.
Note. The shock absorber rod can be easily pulled out by screwing a nut onto it.
12. Install an insulating gasket on the upper coil of the spring and secure it from displacement with a thin rope, electrical tape, etc.
13. Install the spring on the post so that the beginning of the first coil falls into the punching in the lower cup.
14. Place a jack under the beam to compress the spring when installing the strut. Gradually raising the beam with a jack and thereby compressing the spring, insert the shock absorber rod into the opening of the body arch.
15. Install the upper cushion with a washer on the shock absorber rod and tighten the nut of the upper strut mount, holding the rod from turning with the second wrench.
16. After lowering the car to the ground, rock it hard several times. Tighten the appropriate moments: the nut of the lower mounting of the shock absorber to the beam - 68–84 Nm (6.8–8.4 kgf·m), a nut of the top fastening of the shock-absorber - 51–63 N·m (5.1–6.3 kgf·m). After a run of 100 km, re-tighten these threaded connections to the required torque.
