Loosen the wheel bolts before lifting the vehicle and then raise it with a jack, completing the removal of the wheel (it is recommended to apply a car stand for safety). Loosen the fixing bolt of the shock absorber and support the rear axle with a jack to allow the removal of the bolt; lower the axle to extract the damaged spring and insert the new one. Compress the spring by raising the rear axle again with the jack and secure the rear shock absorber with the corresponding bolt, tightening it carefully.

Refit the wheel.
