THRUST ROD
One of two types of thrust rod end supports are fitted to the module. If the thrust rod end supports
fitted are as shown right, it is not recommended that thrust rod replacement is attempted. In this
case the complete module must be returned to the supplier for replacement to be carried out. For
the type of thrust rod support shown in Figure 3.5, carry out the following procedure.
Removal
• Move the forcer to the centre of the module, Figure 3.5.

• Place spacers around or under the thrust rod to prevent it coming into contact with the bearing rail or other
ferrous material. Foam pipe insulation or wooden blocks are ideal for this.
•
Loosen the two M4 bolts on each of the thrust rod end supports, see Figure 3.6.
