ing the Support Sleeve (C) to the Outer Chassis
Plate (A), making sure any voids are completely
filled.

Outer Chassis Plate (A), secure the steering gear
out of the way to gain access to the Inner Chassis
Plate (B).

ner and Outer Chassis Plates (A & B) until smooth
and completely flat. HINT: A power sanding/grind-
ing wheel or similar tool is useful for smoothing
chassis.
