Chapter 9: Maintenance - HS
WARNING: Dry ice can cause burns if touched. Wear
well-insulated gloves when you handle the dry ice. You
may want to wear lighter gloves to handle the cold
inserts.
1. Remove the old insert.
a. If the insert is held tightly, you can facilitate its removal by packing the insert
with dry ice. Have dry ice touching as much of the insert surface as possible.
Leave it for 15 minutes.
b. Turn the ball joint socket so the insert faces down, and tap it lightly on
something. The insert should fall out.
2. Pack the new insert in dry ice.
It typically takes 15 minutes packed in dry ice for the insert to shrink enough to fit into
and stay in the ball joint.
3. Wearing gloves, put the cooled insert into the ball joint.
This must be done quickly, before the insert warms up, or you will not be able to fit it
into the ball joint socket.
4. Ensure that the insert is centered in the ball joint socket, and bottomed-out, so that it
will form a seal as it expands.
5. Verify that the insert has warmed up in the correct position in the ball joint socket.

NOTE: It is unlikely that you will ever need to remove the components of the outer
arm spring assemblies.
NOTE: The figures in this section show outer arms for a Quattro H. The procedures
for the Quattro HS are the same.
