with rear spacer bushing between them.
3. Start cap screw into thread just enough to hold blades in
place. DO NOT TIGHTEN.
4. Insert spacer bushing into hole in centre blade and lubricate.
5. Install centre blade into shear housing by tapping blade
gently forward using a drift pin to line up hole in centre
