Suspension Line Replacement
A suspension line should be replaced whenever it displays noticeable kinking or fraying. Factory
replacement lines come pre-swaged with connection links to make replacing quick and easy.
To remove the connecting link between the suspension line and the M-strap, follow these procedures.
1.
Locate a metal bar with a 5/16" hole (or drill a 5/16"
hole into any metal bar). If you are unable to locate
a metal bar, a wooden block will work, however,
make sure to drill the hole into the end grain.
2.
Place the connecting link with the pin located over the
hole and using a 3/16" punch, drive pin through the
center holding sleeve.
3.
After the pin is free, remove the old suspension line.
Place the new line in the connecting link by inserting
the pin into one side of the connecting link. Using a
hammer, drive the pin in until it is flush with both
sides of the connecting link.
