If the pin / holes do not line up, manually readjust the position of the LH front wheel.
k. Insert 5/16” pins, dowels or bolts through the alignment holes in the Pump Control Arm. See Fig. # 9a.
The pins must pass easily through all 4 plates of each alignment hole.
Manipulate the arms manually until proper alignment is achieved.
WARNING: Failure to remove the alignment pin will cause extensive damage to the steering linkage
arms requiring their replacement. Do Not attempt to move the steering wheel with the pins in place.

moving the linkage components.
r. If binding is observed, adjust the length of the Control Link Arm Ball End to achieve proper fit.
