reached.
c.
Tighten locknut (Figure 5, Item 2) to 18 to 27 lb-ft (24 to 37 Nm) torque and recheck pull. Pull resistance
must lie between limits specified after locknut is tightened.

teeth and pitman shaft (Figure 5, Item 3) gear teeth. Tighten locknut (Figure 5, Item 2).
e. Check pull with socket and lb-in. torque wrench as before, taking highest reading of scare as shaft is
turned through center position. This should be 3.0 to 7.0 lb-in. (0.339 to 0.790 Nm) over bearing adjust-
ment but not to exceed a total of 11.0 lb-in. (1.24 Nm).
f.
Readjust lash adjuster screw (Figure 5, Item 1) if necessary to obtain proper pull. Tighten locknut (Figure
5, Item 2) to 18 to 27 lb-ft (24 to 37 Nm) torque and recheck pull. Pull resistance must lie between specified
