Axle
Place a spring bracket bushing (Ref #25) into the rear of the spring bracket and secure with a
9/16” x 3 1/4” hex bolt and hex lock nut. Repeat in other spring bracket. Position the axle under
the frame, hook the hook loop of the spring around the bushings just installed. Note: If the axle
is positioned too low, the hooks will not hook around the bushings.
Raise the front of the springs up so they align with the front hole of the spring bracket. Secure
in place with 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolts and lock nuts.
Tighten all axle U-bolts and spring bolts.

the rocker arm. Secure with a 3/4” x
4-1/2” hex bolt and lock nut. Tighten.
Repeat this process on the other
rocker arm and spring bracket.
Grease the rocker, apply grease
through the zerk.
NOTE: The grease zerk is
