How To...Remove and Replace the 4”, and 14” Linkage Assemblies (Continued)
Step 9
Using a 1/2” socket, remove the BOLT (W) (discard old bolt), EXTERNAL TOOTH
WASHER (X), SMALL EXTENSION ARM (Y), and PLASTIC WASHER (Z), from
the CRANK ARM ASSEMBLY. Remove the 4” LINK ASSEMBLY (O) and discard.
Clean the CRANK SHAFT ASSEMBLY of debris. Place one of the BRASS
WASHERS (#2) against the existing (white) PLASTIC WASHER, then with the
large offset facing the center of the machine, place the new 4” LINK ASSEMBLY
with oil impregnated bushings into position on the CRANK ARM ASSEMBLY.
NOTE: MAKE NOTE OF THE POSITION OF THE SMALL EXTENSION ARM IN
RELATION TO THE 4” LINK ASSEMBLY BEFORE PROCEDING.
Step 10
Place the second BRASS WASHER (#2) against the new 4” LINK ASSEMBLY (O) then replace the second (white)
PLASTIC WASHER (Z) and the SMALL EXTENSION ARM (Y). Using BOLT (#7) in place of the discarded BOLT (W),
install the BOLT (#7), EXTERNAL TOOTH WASHER (X) and tighten the BOLT securely.
Step 11
Use two 9/16” wrenches to remove the BOLT, METAL WASHER, PLASTIC WASHER, NYLON LOCKING NUT, and
SHOULDERED SLEEVE of the rear attachment point of the old 14” LINK BAR ( I ). Discard the old 14” LINK BAR,
SHOULDERED SLEEVE and existing hardware.
Step 12
Place the SPACER (#3) in the middle of the new SHOULDERED SLEEVE (#5). With the bushing flanges facing to the
outside, slide one end of the new 14” LINK BAR ( I ) over the shouldered edge side of the SHOULDERED SLEEVE
and place the thin METAL WASHER (I) between the PEDAL LEVER ASSEMBLY (N) and the 14” LINK BAR.
Step 13
Slide the BOLT (#11) through the PEDAL LEVER ASSEMBLY (N) as shown above. Place a METAL WASHER (#4),
EXTERNAL TOOTH LOCKING WASHER (#8) and NUT (#9), onto the BOLT and tighten. (as shown above)
NOTE: BE SURE THE SHOULDERED EDGE OF THE SHOULDERED SLEEVE IS FULLY SEATED INTO THE
PEDAL LEVER ASSEMBLY (N) BEFORE TIGHTENING THE BOLT (#11).
Step14
Position the PEDAL LEVER ASSEMBLY (N) so it is over the 4” LINK ASSEMBLY (O) of the CRANK ARM
ASSEMBLY.
Attach the PEDAL LEVER ASSEMBLY(N) to the 4” LINK ASSEMBLY (O) pivot point by reversing step 6 using the
existing hardware.
