Additional details shown in the picture:

4 — bolt, 7 Nm;
5 - sealing washer;

Attention: If the gas-filled shock absorber is to be replaced, the gas must be released from it before it is disposed of. To do this, clamp the gas-filled shock absorber in a vice in the area x=50 mm. It is imperative to clamp it in the specified area, otherwise an accident cannot be ruled out! Then saw through the shock absorber cylinder in the first third of its total length, counting from the limiting edge on the piston rod side. To retain the splashed oil, cover the sawing area with rags. In addition, you must wear safety glasses while sawing.
Installation
Place the gas-filled shock absorber on the ball joint and secure it.
Place the ball head of the gas-filled shock absorber on the support, insert the locking bracket and secure it.
