Remove shock absorber from motorcycle according to procedures recommended in the
manufacturer’s manual.
3.1.1. Place the VS1824 body into position engaging the jaws on the spring as far apart as possible as shown in
fig.1.
3.1 2. Ensure that the jaws are correctly aligned, making sure the two arms are parallel to each other.

spring.

alternate between each arm so as not to unbalance the spring.
DO NOT attempt to remove the spring from the
compressors until all tension has been removed.

compressor to ensure it is not damaged
or worn. If suspect do not use the unit,
but contact your local Sealey Dealer

Keep the spring compressor's force
screws lubricated.
