Walking Beam Reassembly
11. Using new pivot pin, apply a light coat of grease to
the chamfer to help installing the pin through the first
seal.
12. Align walking beam with axle leg, check to be sure
the hubs are in the correct orientation front to rear.
13. Install thrust washers into walking beam and lift into
place to insert pivot pin.
NOTE
We recommend using a floor jack or overhead hoist for
this as the holes need to match up close to avoid seal
damage when starting the pin.
WALKING TANDEM INSTRUCTIONS
14. By putting the cross pin into the pivot pin it allows
more leverage to turn the pin and push to get it
started. Once started and through the first seal, a
dead blow type hammer may be lightly used to finish
installation. The walker may need to be supported
some as the threaded side of the pin starts to come
out to avoid thread damage.
15. Install the slotted nut on the pivot pin and tighten to
750 to 900 ft-lbs and install roll pin to prevent it from
backing off (See Figure 1-3.)
16. Reinstall tire/wheel assembly torqueing nuts to the
value stated in the operators manual.
