Typical example shown
Remove bolts (1) from cap (2). Remove cap (2).
Install two new inserts.
Add the proper number of shims between the socket/cap and the insert flange to remove any gap.
Install the cap. Install the bolts and tighten the bolts.Note: The purpose of the shims is not to provide adjustability to the ball stud interface, rather, the shims are to account for tolerance between the socket/cap and the insert flange. The shims allow the load to be properly transferred through the hydraulic cylinder to the insert to the ball system. Improper shimming can lead to deformation of the insert, binding of the interface, and damage /failureof the insert/ball stud.
