screws holding the Mounting Strap in place. The Hex

Bracket. On the outside of the bracket, the screw
first holds a Flat Washer and then a Lock Washer
before being secured with a Nylock Nut.
j. After the appropriate Nylock Nut has been loosened,
locate the Nylock Nut opposite of the loosened one
on the Mounting Strap and remove it.

the outside, through the Mounting Strap, then the
Guard Washer, then the Mounting Bracket, a Flat
Washer and Lock Washer. Then loosely secure with
a Nylock Nut. The nuts will be fully secured later in
