17. HEIM JOINT ADJUSTMENT/REPLACEMENT
TOOLS REQUIRED
15/16” wrench
7/8” wrench
Wire Brush
Medium Strength Threadlock (blue or green)
CAUTION: This adjustment is only necessary if the heim joint turns freely by hand or
exhibits any fore and aft play. If you do not FULLY understand the instructions below,
call the factory.
NOTE: All references to direction are made from in front of the trailer, looking at the
“tip” of the heim joint.
1. Using the 7/8-inch wrench, hold the heim joint in place while turning the jam nut with
the 15/16-inch wrench (the nut between the heim joint and the tongue) clockwise
until it stops rotation. Now turn the heim joint counterclockwise. Completely
remove the heim joint from the threaded shaft.
2. Clean the exposed threads with a wire brush to remove Threadlock and debris.
3. Apply 2 to 3 drops of new Threadlock to the exposed threads and install the heim
joint by hand. Turn clockwise until approximately 1 to 2 threads remain visible
between the heim joint and the jam nut.
4. Turn the jam nut counterclockwise until it meets the heim joint and tighten against
each other.
5. Check that there is no fore and aft play in the assembly and that it will rotate under
moderate hand pressure.
NOTE: Several attempts may be required to achieve proper adjustment. Tension on the
swivel is adjusted by varying the tightness of the jam nut against the end of the tongue.
