Removal Procedure
- Hold the actuator rod across the flats in order to slacken the locknut.
- Remove the inlet hose elbow.
- Remove the circlip and the washer.
- Disengage the actuator from the fixed pivot.
- Unthread the actuator rod from the ball joint in order to remove the rod.
- Check the condition of the actuator sleeve. Replace the sleeve if necessary.
CAUTION:: Always wear protective goggles and gloves when removing exhaust system parts as falling rust and sharp edges from worn exhaust components could result in serious personal injury.
When removing exhaust components, the accumulation of dirt and corrosion can make work difficult. Using a penetrating oil on the threads can assist in the removal of these components.
Installation Procedure
- Thread the locknut onto the actuator rod.
- Engage the actuator rod end into the ball joint.
- Slide the actuator over the pivot pin.
- Install the washer and the circlip.
- Install the inlet elbow hose.
- Check for proper adjustment of the actuator rod.
The circlip must be properly seated.
Tighten
Tighten the actuator rod locknut to 14 N·m (10 lb ft).
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
Tighten
Tighten the inlet hose elbow to 20 N·m (14 lb ft).
Contact must be made with the stop peg when the butterfly valve is in the fully open or fully closed position.
