remove the pin completely.

4. Remove the broken pin’s shaft from the

You may need to apply heat (use a propane torch) to the threads on
the break pin to loosen the Threadlocking Compound existing on the
threads.

5. Hold the

body of the swivel securely in an appropriate vise. Hold the

or a strap wrench if possible. Tighten the vise but do not over-tighten.
Overtightening of the vise may collapse the body and permanently
deform the swivel.

externally threaded head of the swivel. You may need to

apply heat to the outside of the swivel to break down the
Threadlocking Compound existing on the threads.

bearing and seal orientation as they are removed to assure
proper replacement.

1. Clean I.D. of bearings, external and internal threads free of oil,

grease, old Threadlocking Compound and anti-seize compound and
replace any parts that are defective.

The bearings and seals must be assembled as shown in the

swivel drawing (see Diagram 1 or 2).

3. Slide the bearings onto the break pin’s shaft (see Table 2 for correct

replacement break pin). Do not force the bearings - it could damage
the pin.
