Section 26: XLII SLIDE-OUT
PA1553
10
CAUTION
Make sure the keyless bushing is tightened to
125 lb-ft before moving the slide-out. Refer to
section 5.4.1 for torque wrench settings.
5.3 REAR SLIDE-OUT SHAFT
PINION REPLACEMENT
The procedure is similar to the front slide-out
shaft pinion replacement. Gain access to the
mechanism from under the bed structure. Refer
to section 5.2.
5.4 KEYLESS BUSHING
The keyless bushings need a specific tightening
torque value to ensure proper pinion transmitting
torque. They also need specific tools to be
tightened.
To tighten or loosen the keyless bushing, use
those specific tools:
- crowfoot wrench 1 ½";
- torque wrench;
- combination wrench 1 ¾";
- pipe wrench;
- drive extension 5";
- socket 1 ½".
5.4.1 Installation
FIGURE 14 : KEYLESS BUSHING TIGHTENING
To tighten the keyless bushing, use a special
open-end wrench to retain the yellow part and
another wrench to tighten the black part. Figure
20 shows how to tighten the keyless bushing.
When tightening, make sure the pinion does not
move or rotate.
FIGURE 15 : TORQUE WRENCH FORMULA
CAUTION
Make sure all keyless bushings are tightened
to 125 lb-ft before moving the slide-out. A
lower torque value may cause the bushing to
slip on the shaft, and a higher torque value
may break the bushing. The torque may need
to be recalculated depending of the wrench
size. Refer to figure 15 for wrench size
compensation.
Take note that when the keyless bushing nut is
tightened, the pinion moves about 1/16" to 3/32"
toward the slide-out center.
NOTE
On the front slide-out, the driver side keyless
bushing is not accessible for tightening or
removal unless you remove the front left
wheel. If the slide-out has been removed, this
keyless bushing should be tightened before
reinstalling the slide-out.
