once the parking brake is disabled.
2.
Position the towing vehicle in place. Attach any chain
needed to secure the disabled vehicle.
3.
Crawl under the front of the vehicle AND LOCATE THE
FRONT AXLE. Loosen and remove the two (2) screws (A)
on each end of the front side of the axle, AND the two (2)
screws (B) on each end of the back of the axle, as shown
in Fig 3. There will be a total of four (4) screws.
4.
Remove the spacers from each of the four (4) screws.
5.
Re-install the two (2) screws (without spacers), front
and rear, on each end of the front axle assembly. There
will be a total of four (4) screws. Alternately tighten
the screws 450 at a time (per side). You do not need to
completely tighten the screws once re-installed. Just
tighten them enough to release the parking brake, then
