Then,remove the tools.7.Install a new cross tube in the center bushings.Lubricate the tube end and bushing ID. Installthe center bushing plugs and weld the plugs inthe bushings.8.Raise the axles until the saddles rest on theequalizer beam bushings, and remove the safetystands from under the vehicle.9.Lower the axles and check the alignment of thesaddles on the bushings. Install the saddle capsand tighten the attaching nuts to specificationsas listed at the end of this Section. The axlesmust be in the operation position when thesaddle caps are tightened.EQUALIZER BEAM CENTER SLEEVE AND BUSHING1.Support beam in press. Using adapter madefrom appropriate size standard tubing to fitagainst center sleeve and bushing assembly,press out bushing assembly. See Figure 11.Figure 11 - Removing Equalizer BeamCenter Sleeve and Bushing2.Apply a thin coat of IH-251H-EP multi-purposegrease to outside diameter of sleeve andbushing assembly.3.Support beam in press. Using adapter pressbushing and sleeve assembly into beam. SeeFigure 12. Bushing and sleeve assembly shouldbe centered in beam.Figure 12 - Installing Center Sleeve and BearingTORQUE ROD BUSHING REPLACEMENT1.Cut off rubber bushing flush with torque rod, asinstructed for equalizer end bushing removal.Refer to Figure 6.2.Support torque rod in press. Using a piece oftubing as an adapter, press bushing out oftorque rod.3.Apply a thin coat ofIH-251H-EP, multi-purposegrease to outer diameter of bushing sleeve.4.Install sheave puller over bushing and compressrubber until puller jaws will seat on end ofbushing sleeve.
