2.Measure the amount of threads showing on the shank of the existing ball joint. See Figure 3.

3.Remove 3/4” bolt (E, Figure 4) that attaches the ball joint to the tractor frame (A). Discard the spacers (H and I) and 3/4” bolt (E).

4.Remove the ball joint (B) from the suspension arm

5.Remove the jam nut (C) from the existing ball joint and thread onto the ball joint provided with kit (F). Discard the existing ball joint (B). Thread new ball joint into the suspension arm to the approximate measurement taken in step 2, allowing for correct orientation (Refer to Figure 4) of the ball joint to the tractor frame.

6.Install the ball joint stud through the 3/4” washer

(G)and the tractor frame and tighten securing nut. Tighten jam nut on the shank of the ball joint against the suspension arm.
