20. Install nuts on shorter threaded end of the tie rods. At
lease one full tread must show past the end of the nut.
Install tie rods with nuts through clevis cap first then
through rod cap.
NOTE: For 2" cylinders install nuts on longer threaded
end. Also install rod with nuts through the rod
cap first.
21. When reassembling the tie rods on the cylinder tighten
in an alternating diagonal pattern. Complete two
passes in this manner. Refer to the table below for
torque values. Refer to the figure (right) for
acceptable thread allowance.
NOTE: Exposed tie rod threads should extend past
the nut; however, flush threads are
acceptable.
