1. Put SAE 90W oil on each end of bushing (2) for a minimum length of 5 mm (.20 inch).

Note: Use a maximum force of 445 kN (100000 lb) when you assemble the track.

2. Use Tooling (A) in order to install bushing (2) in link (1). Push the bushing inward until the pin makes contact with the 5P-2188 Adapter. The bushing must extend 1.45 ± 0.13 mm (.0570 ± .005 inch) beyond the surface of the link.

3. Put link (1), bushing (2), and link (3) into position in Tooling (A), as shown.

4. Install Tooling (C) in order to align links (1) and (3) .

5. Install bushing (2) in link (3) with Tooling (A) until the bushing makes contact with the 5P-2188 Adapter. The bushing must extend 1.45 ± 0.13 mm (.0570 ± .005 inch) beyond the surface of the link.

Note: The pin must be installed with the hole end on the same side of the track assembly for the entire length of the track assembly. The oil hole in the pin must be within 20 degrees of the vertical centerline of the pin bore. The oil hole must be close to the rail of the link. The pins have a mark on the end for the crosshole location. The pin must be installed with a minimum amount of force in order to get a maximum end play of 0.13 mm (.0050 inch) between the bushing and the thrust ring.

13. Fasten a hoist to Tooling (D). Use Tooling (D) in order to install track pins (11) and push Tooling (C) out of the link assemblies. Install the track pins until the pins extend a maximum of 3.11 mm (.1220 inch) beyond both sides of the link assembly.
