5. Remove shoulder screw and flange locking nut that
secure the pin assembly to the lift arm. Remove pin as-
sembly from lift arm and cylinder shaft clevis.
6. Remove lock nut and flat washer from the cylinder
pin. Remove cylinder pin with spring pin from the frame

Installation (Fig. 113)
1. If fittings were removed from lift cylinder, lubricate
and place new O--rings onto fittings. Install fittings into
port openings using marks made during the removal
process to properly orientate fittings. Tighten fittings
