HOW TO INSTALL
SPIRAL STEEL BUSHINGS

 TO START THE BUSHING
1. First check the bore for dirt and burrs. The bore* must be clean and free from burrs. Start the spiral steel bushing into the bore by gripping bushing with right hand. Place the other end of bushing at the bore opening at a slight angle near the beginning of the bushing wrap or spiral. With a push-in and a clockwise twisting action, the spiral bushing will start to enter the bore.

BUSHING CONFORMS TO BORE WALL
2. You may continue with the hand grip clockwise rotation and push-pull action as far as it is comfortable.

FINAL TWIST IN ACTION
3. Place slotted 'T' Handle Wrench (#ST-100)**. so that the slot in the wrench fits over the bushing wall about 1" from it's tip. Twist the 'T' Handle Wrench in a clockwise rotation and with a push-in action until the end of the 'T' Handle Wrench comes to rest on the end of the bore.

TAP TO SET POSITION
4. The bushing is now within 1/8" from being in proper position. Tap the bushing down flush to surface, starting at the heaviest part of the wrap and tap clockwise around bushing until in position.

HOW TO REMOVE BUSHING
5. First place a flat blade screwdriver in the grease groove of the first spiral wrap about half way around from it's tip. Pry up the wrap until the screwdriver rests upon the surface above the bore. Grip the raised spiral wrap wall with the Slofted 'T' Handle Wrench** above the screwdriver holding the wrap up. With a firm grip and a clockwise rotation while pulling up, the bushing will torque out.

    RELATED ITEMS
    TO CHECK
    TIE ROD ENDS
    The tie rod ends, one of the major pivot points for the steering system, connect the steering arm to the rest of the steering linkage. These movable ends wear with time and should be replaced if necessary at the time the king pin kit is installed.
     
    		DRAGLINK
    The draglink, the primary connection in the steering linkage, is positioned between the steering box and steering arm on the axle. When the front axle king pin kit is installed, the draglink should be checked and replaced if bent or worn. Also check wheel bearings.
    *NOTE: The steering knuckle bore has been simulated for photographic purposes.

    **NOTE: A pair of narrow square-nose pliers can be used in place of the 'T' Handle Wrench. The 'T' Handle Wrench has proven to be easier and faster to assemble or disassemble.
