install links. The torque link bolt assemblies (2, 3 and 4) should be lubricated and installed with the
flat of the bolt head hex adjacent to the milled stop of the wide end of the link. (Use the same thickness
of spacer washers between the two links as those removed to maintain correct wheel alignment.)
Tighten the bolts only tight enough to allow no side play in the links, yet be free enough to rotate.
j.
Connect the brake line and bleed the brakes per Paragraph 7-73.
k. Lubricate the gear assembly. (Refer to Lubrication Chart, Section II.)
l.
Compress and extend the strut several times to ascertain that the strut will operate freely. The weight
of the gear wheel and fork should allow the strut to extend.
