A. Inspection
1. Examine all the bails for pits or partial
flatness. If any one is found defective,
the entire set (including both races)
should be replaced. If either race is pit-
ted, shows rust spots, or is damaged in
any way, replace both races and all
balls.

A. Cable Maintenance
NOTE:
See Maintenance and Lubrication Intervals
charts for additional information. Cable
maintenance is primarily concerned with pre-
venting deterioration
through
rust
and
weathering and providing for proper lubrica-
ton to allow the cable to move freely within
its housing. Cable removal is straight-for-
ward and uncomplicated. Removal will not
be discussed within this section. For details,
see the individual maintenance section for
which the cable is an integral part.
