STEERING

For all steering repairs, raise the front end using the pro-
cedures described in Section ‘B’ (Safety) of this manual
and support the vehicle frame on jack stands.
To reduce the possibility
of personal injury, follow
the lifting procedure in
Section ‘B’ of this manual. Place wheel chocks in
front and behind the rear wheels and check the stabil-
ity of the vehicle on the jack stands before starting
any repair procedure. Never work on a vehicle that is
supported by a jack alone.

dlebar. There are no gears or steering sectors to be

While holding nut (item 1), remove nut (item 2) securing
axle (item 3) to front fork (item 4) (Ref Fig. 1 on page P-
1). Remove lock washer (item 5) and flat washer (item 6).
Repeat on other side of front fork. Remove axle assem-
bly from front fork.
Front Wheel Installation
Front wheel installation is the reverse order of removal.
With vehicle sitting on a level surface, adjust front axle so
that the tire does not have more than 1/4" (6 mm) lean
from vertical in either direction.
Replace washer (item 5) and nut (item 2). Tighten nut to
90 - 100 ft. lbs. (120 - 135 Nm) torque. Repeat on other
side of front fork. Lower vehicle.
Check for smooth rotation of wheel and an absence of
play when the wheel is grasped by the outside of the tire.
MAINTENANCE
Good routine maintenance of the steering consists of
routine lubrication (See Lubrication Chart and the Peri-
odic Service Schedule in Section ‘A’). Be sure to use the
recommended lubricants. Maintain the correct adjust-
ment of the front bearings and repack them in accor-
dance with the Periodic Service Schedule or if a bearing
replacement is required. Routine examination of the front
tire will provide indications that an alignment is required.
