6.11 Replacing Outer Arm Spring Assemblies
1. Begin by removing the outer arm pair that needs service.
2. Bend the spring so that the end is 90° from normal.
3. Slip the springs off of the retainers. Removing the first spring is the most difficult, as the
other spring will tend to restrict movement. The narrowest part of the retainer is 90°
from the groove in which the spring end normally rests. Use this narrow area for easier
removal.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for all other spring removal.
5. After all springs are removed, cut the retainer(s) with a diagonal cutter. Take care to pre-
vent damage to any part of the outer arm.
6. Remove the cut spring retainer(s) from the outer arm pins.
7. After all spring retainers are removed, slip one end of the new retainer over one of the
outer arm pins.
