Replacing Steering Wires; Removal/Installation Of Steering Axle - Husqvarna Rider 13C Workshop Manual

Replacing steering wires

1. Release the steering wires' rear attachment
(1).
2. Remove the frame plate.
3. Release the steering wires' front attachment
(2) at the steering transmission chain (6) and
pull the steering wires out throught the
frame.
Note. If the old wires are still complete, the
new wires can be attached to the old ones
when they are pulled out through the frame,
the new wires will then come automatically
into place.
4. Ensure that the steering wheel is in the
centre position when the rear wheels are
centred. Re-set the chain on the steering
column's sprocket or adjust the rear fixture
(1) for the steering cables as needed.
Hold the cables with, for example, a wrench
when mounting so that they do not twist.
Attach the new wires. Once the new wires
are in place, check the wire tension (see
"Checking and adjusting steering wires").

goes free from the steering axle (6). If the
bearing is to be replaced, the bushing (8)
must be knocked out of the bearing.
