1

Switch on ignition

So that the steering can be turned and the engine can be started and stopped to allow bleeding with the cab tilted.

2

Open maintenance flap

3

Secure vehicle against rolling

4

Raise vehicle at front axle far enough so that wheels can turn freely, and jack up vehicle

5.1

Turn steering to the right

On left-hand drive vehicles

5.2

Turn the steering to the left

On right-hand drive vehicles

6

Unscrew nut (3) of the drag link (4) at the pitman arm (2) and screw on again by hand


Screw nut (3) on as far as the safety collar.
This prevents the thread of the drag link (4) being damaged during removal.

7

Detach drag link (4) from pitman arm (2)

The drag link (4) is released suddenly.
