1) Install support-bearing mount onto the rear cradle bolt. (Diagram below). Note: The angle of
this mount is set for most applications. Some adjustment may be necessary for the correct
angle and u-joint alignment.
2) We recommend the use of ¾” dowel rod to mock up the steering shaft to obtain the correct
length of the shafts.
3) Install your shaft kit and snug each set screw so that it will leave a mark in the shafts.
4) Remove shaft and dimple each setscrew mark using a ¼” drill bit. (As shown below.)
5) Re-install the shafts using red loc-tite thread locker on the set screw threads. Tighten each
setscrew to 25 ft. lbs. Tighten all lock nuts securely. We recommend that you inspect
setscrews periodically for tightness.
