The lock cam, or arm, of the locking mechanism engages and snaps around the striker bolt. In this position, the locking mechanism secures the cab door.

The striker bolt position is not adjustable.

2. Using the J 29843-9 or a similar tool, remove the striker bolts.

1. Install the striker bolts into the door pillar retaining plate.
2. Align the striker bolt spacer with the mark made during the removal.

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.
