5. Loosen the lock nut to before the V-groove of the adjusting rod, and tighten the special tool (inner) until it contacts the lock nut.





6. Engage the special tool (outer) on the lock nut.
Rotating the outer cylinder counterclockwise and the inner cylinder clockwise, lock the lock nut and special tool (inner).








7. Attach a torque wrench to the special tool (inner) and tighten to a torque of 10 Nm (7.2 ft. lbs.) and repeating "Tighten" and "Loosen" two times then torque to 5 Nm (3.6 ft. lbs.). After that, back off the special tool (inner) 2 to 2-1/4 turns.
