OS32.25-P-0122-01N Dispose of suspension strut
- with CODE (487) Active Body Control (ABC) [models 220, 221, 230]


Danger!
Risk of injury to skin or eyes from hydraulic fluid spraying out under pressure. Risk of poisoning from swallowing hydraulic fluid. Depressurize the hydraulic system completely before starting any work on the system. Wear protective clothing and safety glasses.

Danger!
Risk of injury caused by drilling gas-filled assemblies or components (noncombustible gases) Wear safety glasses and a face mask.

Component Identification:

Observe regulations governing disposal of hydraulic fluid.

1 By scanning check whether the spring cup abuts the upper stop (arrow) and cut open boot (40e) if necessary.

Component Identification:

2 Detach hydraulic line (40f) carefully from the suspension strut (due to residual pressure).
3 Empty the hydraulic line (40f); to do this, press on the nipple (arrow) of the quick-release coupling and dispose of the hydraulic line (40f).
4 Place suspension strut with the hydraulic line connection downwards in a suitable vessel and allow the hydraulic fluid to run out (drainage time at least 5 minutes).

5 Drill out suspension strut (40) in the area A through the outer and inner wall (twin-tube damper) and allow gas to escape. (dimension: 40 mm, drill diameter: 5 mm)
6 Drill out suspension strut below the spring cup (area B) (max. 13 mm deep, drill diameter: 5 mm) and allow hydraulic fluid to drain out.

7 Drill out suspension strut (41) in the area A through the outer and inner wall (twin-tube damper) and allow gas to escape. (dimension a: 75 mm, drill diameter: 5 mm).
8 Drill out suspension strut in the area B and allow hydraulic fluid to run out. (dimension b: 7 mm, drill diameter: 5 mm).
