#23
Shoe Release Lever #22
Block
To properly install the Shoe Release Lever
#22 onto the Shoe Pin #23 do the following:
Insert the shoe pin through the hole in the
gearcase insulator. Center the shoe pin with
equal amounts of the pin protruding from each
side of the tool.
Rotate the shoe pin so the flats of the pin will
align with the flats in the shoe release lever
cavities.
The shoe release lever is stiff but flexible. Place
the shoe release lever over the gearcase
insulator. Lift one end of the shoe release lever
onto the shoe pin (with flats aligned) and press
into place.
Pull the other end of the shoe release lever over
the other side of the pin and press in place.
Flats
(both sides)
Place the tool on its side on a hard flat surface.
Place a small wood block approximately 1-1/8”
thick under the tool, between the hard surface
and the shoe release lever, directly beneath the
pin.
With a rubber mallet, strike the shoe release
lever several times to completely seat the lever
onto the pin and to asure that the pin is properly
centered within the gearcase.
