tie rod ends into the adjuster sleeves and adjust tie rods until the original zerk to zerk measurement

Measurement from the index page.

Install the outer tie rod ends into the spindle and tighten the castle nuts to 30-40 ft lbs. Make sure to
install cotter pins into the castle nut and tie rod end and bend the tabs over for security.
