Boge and Bilstein Experts -- input pls.
 

I just received my revalved Bilstein shocks and struts today! :D :D

Although I made notes of the parts when disassembly, could you please confirm that:

1. I insert the Bilstein strut into the Boge housing. The collar gets tightened at 140 nM, correct?

2. I protect the strut with the 'green tube cover.' There will NOT be any rubber washers between the strut tower and the 'green tube cover.' Correct?

3. Once I insert the green-tube, there will NOT be any rubber washers between the green-tube cover and the fender/strut-mounting-hole. Correct?



BTW, I used to be able to compress those struts prior to the revalve job. Now, I need to be the Governator to compress them.!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

Thanks.
