1. Remove the floor pans and the appropri-
ate drive chain.

direction which winds up the torsion

a Vice-Grip 10CR or similar plier as il-
lustrated in DIAGRAM WA-16

cam assembly as illustrated in

of the cam assembly.

rial) pressed against the top of the slider
block, carefully hammer the piece of
wood so the slider block snaps onto the
cam assembly shaft as shown in
DIAGRAM WA-17

its lowest position.
