Again, make sure the alignment tool is level!
7. Mark the location of the plumb bob, at the 3’ (1 meter) forward location.
8. Measure the distance from the toe-in line on the floor to the mark at the end of the plumb bob.
This distance needs to be 5/16” (8 mm). Or, in other words the toe-in needs to be 0.5°.
You may need to rotate the axle mount to get the correct amount of toe in. Do this by loosening the set screw,
adjust as needed, and re-tighten the set screw. Now re-level the alignment tool.
Adjust as needed so the distance from the toe-in line to the plumb bob mark is 5/16” (8 mm) more at the 3’
(1 meter) forward mark than the mark at the end of the gear leg.

9. Re-check the dimensions.
• At 3’ (1 meter) in front of the center of the axle mount, the plumb bob needs to be 5/16” (8 mm) inside the line
on the floor.
10. Tighten all screws holding the gear leg and the alignment tool in place.
11. Re-check both plumb bobs, level the alignment tool and the toe-in angle.
Tip:
If the alignment tool is not level, the toe-in angle will not be correct!
When you are satisfied that the toe-in angle is correct, you are ready to mark the bolt locations on the gear leg.
