Fit the steering pushrods
Assemble the pushrods: thread a rod end with a plain nut to each end of each pushrod. Do not
tighten the nuts until the pushrod lengths have been adjusted later in this task.
Cut 2 pieces of rubber sheet approximately
40mm square and punch a hole in the centre
of each just big enough to pass the pushrod
through. These are the dust covers and they
will be fixed to the firewall at the end of this
task. Slip one over each pushrod for now.
The pushrods are different lengths: the
longer pushrod fits to the right-hand side of
the steering yoke and the shorter pushrod fits
to the left-hand side of the steering yoke.
Fit the pushrods though the holes in the
firewall and then connect them to the
steering yoke with AN4-13A bolts as shown
in the photos at right.
Each bolt is fed down from the top of the
yoke with an AN960-516 flat washer fitted
under the head of the bolt, then the rod end
and then a AN960-416L flat washer fitted
between the rod end and the yoke and a
regular AN960-416 flat washer and Nyloc
nut fitted below the yoke as shown at right.
Tighten all of the Nyloc nuts to safety and
mark each with
TorqueSeal
.
The dust covers are shown fitted in the
photos above, however they will not be fitted
until the end of this task, which is when the
photos on this page were taken.
