7.3.5 Installing the axle

23
Complete the following steps to install the axle:
1) Insert the connecting lugs of the lateral side rail into the medial side rail.
2) With a hammer, tap the axle into the bore in the medial and lateral side rails.
3) Use a cotter pin drive to tap the axle all the way in (see fig. 23).
INFORMATION: The axle is thicker at the end in the form of a knurling. This knurling
must only be tapped into the bore as the final step. This side is also marked with a
face end bore so the required removal direction can be determined if the axle has to
be removed later.
4) Tap the axle in until the end of the axle only just disappears into the bore.
If the axle has to be removed, the knurled end has to be pushed out of the bore first. To use the
medial side rail and axle again, the axle has to be installed into the medial side rail from the other
side the second time.
