Bore the holes in the 8X0751 Levers that connect to 8X0753 Links (std. lift) or 8X3181 Links (high lift). Bore the holes to 198.13 0.05 mm. (These are the lower holes of 8X0751 tilt levers when installed in the lift arms).3. Install 7I5872 Link And Bearing Assemblies (high lift) or 7I5871 Link And Bearing Assemblies (std. lift) to bucket. Center cut end toward bucket. See notes below.4.

Apply anti-seize to bolt threads, and I.D. of collets. Tighten bolts to 1800 + 200 N m. Tighten and impact joint sufficiently to cause the torque to drop to less than 950 N m. Tighten again to a torque of 1800 200 N m and apply second impact to cause torque loss to less than 1600 N m. Tighten to a final torque of 1800 20 N m.Optional Collet Tightening Procedure:
