15.1
REMOVAL OF TWO-EAR CLAMPS
Figure 86: Two-ear clamp removal.
15.2
PUSHROD ADJUSTMENT
Figure 87: Pushrod adjustment.
Pushrods are assembled using one left handed thread fitting and one right handed thread fitting,
allowing the coupling length to be adjusted in situ by turning the rod (1) just as one would a
turnbuckle. Loosen the two lock-nuts (2) and adjust the pushrod. Once the desired length has been
set the pushrod is locked by tightening the two nuts (2) against the pushrod ends. Do not over
tighten the nuts. It is normal procedure to index (i.e. paint creep marks across) the lock-nut and
pushrod interfaces.
Use a hacksaw or Dremel tool to cut through the one ear as
shown by the dotted line. Once cut through, pry the clamp
open and remove.
