SM 1908 1-00
Steering System - Steering Cylinder and Linkage
is in line with lube fittings (17 & 18) in bellcrank
housing.
2. Using suitable lifting equipment, install bellcrank (10)
between upper and lower bores of the bellcrank
housing with a thrust washer (14) on both sides of
bellcrank hub. Align pin (11) bores of bellcrank (10)
and thrust washers (14) with those of the bellcrank
housing.
3. Install pin (11) through bellcrank housing and
bellcrank (10), aligning the slot in pin (11) with locking
pin (15) hole in bellcrank (10).
4. Drive locking pin (15) into bellcrank (10), making
sure it seats solidly in its bore. Secure locking pin (15)
in bellcrank (10) with nut (16). Tighten nut (16) to a
torque of 245 - 300 Nm (180 - 220 lbf ft).
Note: Prior to welding on the vehicle, follow the
