Remove 22mm self-locking nut from steering shaft
end. A plastic or brass hammer may be needed to
tap the shaft up and out of the bearing.
If replacing the lower ball bearing, use an
appropriate-sized drift and tap the bearing up and
out of its frame holder.
TESTING:
Make sure the shaft turns smoothly with no excess
lateral movement. Clearance on the soft plastic
bushing should be no more than 0.0012 inch.
The studded rod ends are threaded right-turning or
left-turning to match the tie rod, which is threaded
right-turning on one end and left-turning on the op-
posite. The 8mm jam nuts are also right- and left-
turning thread. The right-turning threads on the
tie rod are on the end nearest the holding “fl ats”
on the rod. Note: The stud on the right-turning
end is longer than the left- turning rod end. The
longer studded end attaches to the wheel spindle:
the extra length is needed to also hold the fender
support bracket.
