Prepare sleeve (M) (p/n 318-4902), by cutting off the tube welded to it and grinding the area smooth. Arrows depicting grind locations are shown in Image 1.3.1. After completing grinding operations, rod eye (K) (p/n 349-4062) will be reassembled onto sleeve (M) (p/n 318-4902) at a later time. Rod eye (L) (p/n 257-8476), will not be reused.
