one end. Locate the (2) 5/16-18 x 1 3/4 Hex cap screws and (2) 5/16-18 nyloc
nuts in the bolt bag. Thread drive lever linkage into the swivel located on the
wheel drive idler arm. Thread in until the flat edge of the drive lever aligns with
bottom of the roller notch in the neutral lock/park brake latch when the 5/16-18 x 1
3/4 hex cap screw is inserted through the hole in the drive lever and the hole in
the balljoint. Secure with the 5/16-18 nyloc nut. Tighten nut. Repeat for the other
