Assembly

1. If the brake mounting plate was not removed from
the engine, simply reconnect the grounding lead to
the push-on terminal directly above the ground
strap stop (4) and continue with the reassembly
process.
Note: If the brake mounting plate was removed,
tighten screw (9) to 60 - 70 in. lbs. (6.78 - 7.91
Nm).
2. Secure the replacement brake plate to the engine
with shoulder screw (7). Tighten it to 90 in. lbs.
(9.2 Nm). Ensure that the brake plate pivots freely.
3. Slide the cable into the narrow slot on the brake
mounting plate, and then push the cable into the
hole making sure the tabs lock into the bracket.
4. One end of the compression spring has a hook
shape to it; that end hooks over an indentation in
the brake plate. Squeeze the compression spring
(A) and slip it over the cable between the brake
mounting plate and brake plate. (See Figure 90).
