20. STEERING PIVOT SHAFTS AND BUSHINGS
20.1. If the hex flange bushings that support the steer-
ing pivot plates become worn enough to effect
the precision of the steering, they are easily
replaced.
20.2. Set the parking brake.
20.3. Disconnect the battery cables (negative cable
first) using a 10mm wrench, and remove the bat-
tery.
20.4. Disconnect the steering link rod using a pair of 1/
2” wrenches. See Figure 20.4.
20.5. Unbolt the steering pivot plate from the steering
pivot shaft using a 9/16” wrench, and remove the
steering pivot plate. See Figure 20.5.
20.6. There are two hex flange bushings supporting
each steering pivot shaft. The outer-most can
simply be pried out of the control housing.
See Figure 20.6.
20.7. The shaft, together with the inner hex flange
bushing can be withdrawn through the opening
normally occupied by the battery.
See Figure 20.7.
