8.5.3 Removal of the Yoke Strap
If the yoke strap is old and worn out you can simply
cut it to remove it, if you are unable to replace it im-
mediately. Otherwise, removal of an old strap can
be done as part of the installation of the replacement
strap.
8.5.4 Replacement of the Yoke Strap
Tools required:
Flat Blade Screwdriver
A replacement yoke strap (top) and guide strap
(bottom).
1) Remove the yoke from the neck clamp by re-
moving the rear hinge bolt.
The yoke and neck clamp (with neck dam) must be
separated from each other.
2) Look at the guide strap. You will note that there
is a short loop that is fastened at a right angle to the
longer part of the strap. The longer part of the strap
has a large loop in the front and a smaller loop at
the rear.
With the yoke sitting right side up, slide the short
loop that sits at the 90 degree angle over the right
side of the yoke.
Slide the guide strap onto the right side of the yoke
3) Slide the guide strap back along the yoke until
you can hoke the small rear loop over the right arm
of the rear hinge.
Large loop
Small loop at right angle
Small loop
The small loop at the rear of the guide strap encircles
the right arm of the rear hinge.
4) Reinstall the neck clamp on the yoke. Tighten
the bolt until the end of the bolt protrudes from the
lock nut.
