Mazda CX-5 Service & Repair Manual: Rear Shock Absorber Disposal
WARNING:
-
Whenever drilling into a rear shock absorber, wear protective eye wear. The gas in the rear shock absorber is pressurized, and could spray metal chips into the eyes and face when drilling.
1. Clamp a rear shock absorber on a flat surface or with the piston pointing downwards.
2. Drill a 2—3 mm {0.08—0.11 in}
hole at point A from the bottom of the tube, so the gas can escape.
-
Point A: 40—50 mm {1.6—1.8 in}
3. Turn the hole downwards.
4. The oil can be collected by moving the piston rod several times up and down and cutting off the end of the tube with a hack-saw.
5. Dispose of waste oil according to the waste disposal law.
