be centered on the crossmember. The exact dis-
tance between the inner face of the support arm
and the center line of the bolts holding the pivot

2. Remove front fender shield.
3. Remove wheel and tire assembly.
4. Remove bolts (7) from the upper support arm
pivot (24) to frame.
NOTE: The battery and battery carrier and
fender side shield should be removed to
make the left upper support arm pivot and
bushing assembly accessible for removal.

INSTALLATION
NOTE: The upper support arm pivot bushing
(9) is self threading in the support arm. In
assembling of t he upper support arm pivot
and bushing it is necessary to maintain a
proper spread of the pressed steel support
arm to insure correct tension on the threads
of the pivot after the bushings have been
installed.

1. Install spreader tool (J-3957) Figure 3, with the
slotted ends fitting against the inner face of the
upper support arm. Turn the hex portion of the
spreader tool until the outer surfaces of the
support measure 7-1/4" apart. Install the pivot
so it is centralized in the support arm.
2. Start the bushings on both ends of the pivot.
Lubricate them with a tapping comp o u n d such
as lard oil which will permit the bushings to cut
their own threads in the support arm without
scoring. Thread the bushings into the support
arm and tighten to 110 foot pounds torque.
