1. Install spacer blocks into the underside of the tailpiece weldment.
a. Make sure that bolts will pass through the bearing spacers and the tailpiece weldment. b. Tack weld bearing spacer blocks to tailpiece weldment.
2. Install belt pulley assembly using hex bolts, flat washers, hex nuts, and lock washers.
3. Bolt impact bed assembly to tailpiece weldment using flat washers, lock washers, hex nuts, and bolts.
4. Install slider assembly using flat washers, lock washers, hex nuts, and bolts.
5. Install knuckle piece to tailpiece weldment using tailpiece swivel pin, flat washer, hex nut, keeper pin, and cotter pin.
6. Tighten the hex nut onto the tailpiece swivel pin then weld the pin keeper across the flat of the tailpiece swivel pin on three sides.
