Installing Dual Draw Keys

1. Before staking the tapered draw keys, position king-

pin vertically so it will not contact either the upper or
lower caps.

2. Stake beam material adjacent to each key in three

places to lock key into place.

3. Install kingpin caps and O-ring. Tighten cap bolts to

specified value in the torque chart in the Appendix.

4. To make sure the kingpins will accept lubricant,

lubricate upper and lower kingpin bushings through
the cap grease fittings. If problems arise, you will not
have to remove the brakes again to make repairs.

5. Reinstall tie rod ends in to the steering arms and

tighten the nuts to the specified value in the torque
chart. Then install the cotter pin. Refer to the Tie Rod
section for replacement of tie rod ends.
