  Q: How to Replace Coil Springs on a Front Wheel Drive Without an Axle on Chevrolet Venture?

  A:

  Before proceed to the removal of the coil spring's, lift the vehicle and enable it to be hold from the ground level through the lifting equipment. These include: removing the wheel and tire assemblies, the Brake Calipers, parking brake cable mounting bracket, and brake caliper mounting bracket. Unplug the abs electric connector and take off its mounting bracket. Use a utility jack to hold the lower Control Arm, then take the stabilizer link off the lower Control Arm. With the j 41820 Ball Joint/stud separator (J 41820) disengage the Ball Joint from the knuckle and let the lower Control Arm down using the utility jack and relieve the coil spring tension to remove the coil spring. For installation, install the new coil spring and lift the lower Control Arm with utility jack to load the suspension. Replace the j 41820 (J 41820) in to the Ball Joint at the knuckle, the stabilizer link on the lower Control Arm, and support the lower Control Arm again with the utility jack. Reinstall abs electrical connector mounting bracket, connect abs electrical connector, then install the brake caliper mounting bracket, parking brake cable mounting bracket, brake calipers. Lastly, reinstate the wheel and tire assemblies as well as raise the vehicle.

  Q: What Tools Are Required to Service and Repair Front Coil Springs and Shock Absorber on Chevrolet Venture?

  A:

  Service and repair of the strut and related components requires these specific tools: the holding fixture (J 3289-20), strut compressor (J 34013-B), damper rod clamp (J 34013-20), alignment rod (J 34013-197) and strut rod nut socket (J 42991) and strut compressor lower adapter (J 34013-971) and strut compressor upper adapter (J 34013-972). The required tools for strut service and repair include holding fixture (J 3289-20), strut compressor (J 34013-B), damper rod clamp (J 34013-20), alignment rod (J 34013-197), strut rod nut socket (J 42991), strut compressor lower adapter (J 34013-971), and strut compressor upper adapter (J 34013-972). Set up the holding fixture (J 34013-B) with both strut compressor lower adapter (J 34013-971) and strut compressor upper adapter (J 34013-972) while removing the strut then installing everything to this setup. Start by rotating the strut compressor (J 34013-B) forcing screw until the spring shows mild compression. You can then remove the strut shaft nut with the t 45 torx (R) and strut rod nut socket (J 42991). The alignment rod (J 34013-197) provides guidance as you remove the strut shaft from its position in the upper mount using the compressor's forcing screw adjustment. Complete the removal of strut and spring when the compressor reaches maximum exposure. Originally mount the strut onto the holding fixture (J 34013-B) before attaching the damper rod clamp (J 34013-20) to the strut shaft for assembly. Make sure the strut stays upright inside the strut compressor before inserting the spring over the strut and then install the upper locking pin. Each mount requires proper positioning so the stud without a hole will align perfectly with the strut-to-knuckle attachment bracket opening during assembly. Place the holding fixture (J 34013-B) and strut compressor lower adapter (J 34013-971) and strut compressor upper adapter (J 34013-972) on the strut then put the alignment rod (J 34013-197) through the strut shaft and upper strut mount. Use the strut compressor forcing screw on strut compressor (J 34013-B) to rotate clockwise until the strut shaft threads rise above the strut's top section. Insert the strut shaft washer and nut before removing the damper rod clamp (J 34013-20). Tighten the strut shaft nut to 85 nm (63 ft. Lbs.) through the t 45 torx (R) and strut rod nut socket (J 42991). After completing the procedure replace the strut inside the vehicle while removing it from the holding fixture (J 3289-20).
