NOTE: The steering wheel may
need to be turned in order for the hole
in the torque tool and the frame cross-
member to line up. Once the bolts are
tightened the torque tool will align it’s
self properly.
NOTE: The use of the torque tool is
to keep the Pitman arm from moving
right or left, but allow for movement up
the sector shaft. If you do not have
this tool, a length of chain or a flat bar
with two holes is a suitable replace-
ment.

to remove the previously applied oil.

compound to thoroughly cover the entire
surface of the threads on the Pitman arm
retaining nut.
35. Reinstall the Pitman arm retaining nut to
the sector shaft and torque to
225

NOTE: Whether re-using the exist-
ing pitman arm retaining nut or replac-
ing with a new nut, thread locking com-
pound must be used.

tool
(96-5779)
