SERVICE Sideshift Frame Bearing Service 4.2-2 Remove the sideshift frame from the truck as described in Section 4.1-1 and lay flat on a pallet or workbench. Remove the upper and lower bearings by driving out of the frame. If any bearing is worn to less than 0.09 in. (2.5 mm) thickness, replace all the bearings.
SERVICE Base Frame Bearing Service 4.2-3 Remove the base frame from the truck as described in Section 4.1-2 and lay flat on a pallet or workbench. Remove the upper bearings by driving out of the frame. If any bearing is worn to less than 0.09 in. (2.5 mm) thickness, replace all the upper bearings.
SERVICE Cylinder Service Removal and Installation 4.3-1 Perform the following procedure for each cylinder: Fully retract the sideshift cylinder rods. WARNING: Before removing any hoses, relieve pressure in the hydraulic system. With the truck off, open the truck auxiliary control valve(s) several time in both directions.
SERVICE Rod Seal Replacement 4.3-2 Clamp the cylinder in a soft-jawed vise. Clamp lightly at the extreme base end only. Remove the clevis from the rod by loosening the jam nut and unscrewing the clevis. Unscrew the retainer from the cylinder shell. Slide the retainer off the cylinder rod.
