Assembling
It is essential the screw is tightened to the correct
torque for fastening the ball in the joint bearing.
• If the ball is loose or badly lubricated, it may
start to move on the pin. This will cause much
wear on the pin.
• There is a risk of overloading the screw when
operating if it is tightened too hard.
1. Bearings
NB!
Only press the outer race when driving in
the bearing.
1. Lubricate the bearing seatings and studs with
corrosion inhibiting grease.
2. Fit the new bearing (1) by carefully driving in the
outer race with a suitable driving or press tool.
3. Fit a new circlip (2).

4. Put the rear carriage in place over the pin.
5. Fit lockwasher (4), compression washer (3) and
screw (2).
NB!
Make sure the lockwasher is positioned
correctly on the pin before fitting the screw.
6. Fit the locknut (7).
7. Torque tighten as below.
8. Special tightening torques:
The screw in the articulated steering and the rear
screw for the link arm are threaded into goods. In
addition, there is a locknut used for securing the
screw. If the locknut is tightened too much, the
torque on the screw will be released and the union
will come loose.
a. Tighten the screw until it bottoms first.
b. Then tighten the screw to the specified
torque.
c. Finally, screw on the locking nut and tighten
to the specified torque.
d. Then retighten the screw to the specified
torque again.
