  • Hello! I have reviewed the KB108 shock replacement instructions. This document provides a detailed guide with step-by-step instructions for replacing the gas shock on a KB108 baby changing station. It covers the tools needed, the removal process, and installation of the new shock, including how to detach it from the ball stud using a screwdriver and the use of a wrench. I'm ready to answer specific questions about replacing the shock based on the document.
  • What tools are needed for the replacement?
    How is the top of the gas shock removed?
    How is the lower part of the shock attached?
Tools Required:
Two 7/16” Wrench or Socket Wrench
One Flat Head Screwdriver
Step 1.
Remove the baby changing station from the wall. Turn the
unit over so that you can access the shock on the rear of the
station. At the top of the gas shock there is a “C” clip that holds
the shock onto the ball stud. To remove the gas shock carefully
slide a at head screwdriver in-between the shock and the “C”
clip. Once the tension on the “C” clip is removed you will be
able to pull the gas shock off the ball stud.
Step 2.
The lower part of the shock is attached to the unit by a 3½”
bolt. The head of the bolt and nut require 7/16” wrench or
socket wrench to remove them. Once the nut is removed from
the bolt you will be able to remove it from the lower tab on the
shock. The hole on the tab is designed to be a snug t so it may
require some force to slide it off.
Step 3.
Take the new shock and insert the bolt through the tab. Secure
the bolt using the nut and washer. Ensure that everything is in
the same locations as they were before you removed the old
shock.
Step 4.
With the unit on the ground, compress the shock until you can
align the head of the shock with the ball stud and push the
head of the shock onto the ball stud. Make sure the head is
secure by twisting it from side to side.
Step 5.
Open and close door of unit several times to make sure that the
shock is functioning properly. Remount unit following the proper
installation instructions that were provided with the unit.
