Steering Bellcrank Assembly

1. Insert two of the brass bushings (105) into the chassis. Note: The brass
bushings may need to be slightly tapped into place. The bushings
must be fully seated in the chassis.
2. 
Insert the short aluminum bellcrank post (99) into the right brass bushing
in the chassis.
3. Install ball studs (81) into the right bellcrank (46) in the holes shown.
4. Insert a plastic bushing (47) into each end of the right steering bellcrank.
Again, make sure the bushings are fully seated.
5. Slide the assembled right bellcrank onto the short aluminum bellcrank
post (99).
6. Install ball studs (81) into the lower left bellcrank (44) in the holes shown.
7. Insert the threaded aluminum servo saver hub (101) into the bottom of the
lower left steering bellcrank (44). Note: The aluminum servo saver hub is
designed to key into the bottom of the lower left steering bellcrank.
Make sure that the hex in the hub fully seats in the bellcrank.
8. 
Install a ball stud (81) into the upper left steering bellcrank (45).
9. Slide the upper left steering bellcrank (45) onto the servo saver hub (101).
The upper and lower left steering bellcranks are designed to key together.
10. Place the servo saver spring (98) on top of the two left steering bellcranks.
11. Secure the left bellcrank assembly together with the aluminum servo
saver spring adjuster (102). Note: The servo saver spring adjuster is
machined on one side for the servo saver spring to fit into. Make sure
this side goes down against the servo saver spring. The servo saver
spring will need to be properly adjusted once the entire steering
bellcrank assembly has been installed on to the Evader ST Pro.
12. 
Insert a plastic bushing (48) into each end of the left steering bellcrank
assembly. Again, make sure the bushings are fully seated.
13. Install the long aluminum bellcrank post (100) into the left brass
bushing in the chassis.
14. Slide the assembled left bellcrank assembly onto the bellcrank post.
15. Attach the left and right bellcranks together with the one piece molded
link (43).
