(seen from the base of the appliance):

The two pins securing this shock absorber are inserted one opposite the
other; removing one pin from its seat does not
cause any hindrance.
Removing the other pin on the other hand requires
cutting it and inserting the new one from the opposite side.
To do that,
remove the internal pressure chamber.
Cut the pin and remove it.
Take the shock absorber out of its seat.
Turn the shock absorber stem,
so as to position the wide edge of the bushing on the opposite side to its initial
position.
Reposition the shock absorber in its seat and insert the new pin.
Reposition the internal pressure chamber in its seat, insert the pipe connecting the pressure gauge and make sure
that it is positioned correctly in its seat around the welded tub.

I can confirm that this is accurate. Now just to see if the earthquake has stopped on full spin.

PS Swearing, cursing and ripping skin off back of knuckles and thumbs are also expected.

I’m glad the instructions worked. Yes, let us know if it has solved your problem.

Problem solved. Didn’t even know it was spinning when sitting in the other side of the house
