Shimming Procedure

Push Arm and Stabilizer Link

Show/hide table

Illustration 1	g02728181

1. Remove all of the shims from push arm (1).

2. Install push arm (1) and cap (2) on trunnion (3) without shims. Use the largest torque from the following list in order to tighten the bolts.

   • Five percent of the specified torque

   • 50 N·m (37 lb ft)

   Maintain equal distance on both space (A) and space (B) of cap (2). Insert the maximum number of shims into spaces (A) and (B).

3. Remove the shims and loosen the bolts that are on cap (2). Add one additional shim to the stacks of shims for each side. Reinsert shims into spaces (A) and (B). When possible, use an equal number of shims for spaces (A) and (B).

   Note: The number of shims at space (A) must be within one of the number of shims at space (B). For example, if space (A) has eight shims, space (B) must have seven, eight, or nine shims.

4. Tighten the bolts that are on cap (2) to the proper torque.

5. The push arm should move freely on the trunnion. The specified minimum clearance is 0.25 mm (0.010 inch).

   Note: The removal of one or more shims may be necessary after a short time. Wear can be caused by normal vibrations of the surface or variations in the thickness of the paint.

Lift Cylinder

Illustration 2	g02723127

1. Remove all shims (47) from lift cylinder cap (44).

2. Put cap (44) in place by hand with an equal number of shims (47) on each side of the joint.

3. Rock cap (44) back and forth to determine the number of shims (47) required to keep the cap (44) from moving fore and aft on the trunnion.

4. Add one more shim (47) per side and torque bolts (45) to the proper torque.

   Note: The number of shims on one side of the cap must be within one of the number of shims on the other side. For example, if one side has eight shims, the other side must have seven, eight, or nine shims.
