Remove the SHCS [1], lock washer [3], flat washer [4], and roller [5].

Apply medium-strength thread-lock compound (for example, blue Loctite®) to the (2) SHCS [1]. Replace the roller [5] and bushing [6]. Install the components in the opposite sequence they were removed. Make sure the roller [5] is tight against the V-rail [7].

Torque the SHCS [1] to 20 ft-lb (27 N-m). Apply Mobil 460 grease to the top V-rail [7].

3

Bottom roller replacement:

Remove the 5/16-18 x 1 3/4 Hex Head Bolt (HHB) [1], lock washer [2], flat washer [3], and roller [4].

Apply medium-strength thread-lock compound (for example, blue Loctite®) to HHB. Replace the roller [4] and eccentric bushing [5]. Install the components in the opposite sequence they were removed. Make sure the roller [4] is tight against the V-rail [6].
