Hi together,
today I tried to install the Grove Gear on my -8.
According to the construction manual there should be a gap of .030 between the outboard bracket and wear plate. I used a torque wrench to screw the bolts on the outboard bracket (started with 50inlbs and increased in 5 inlbs increments).
Questions:
1. I have no gap between the outboard bracket and the wear plate on the outer side. On the inner side there is a gap of approx. .010. Is it necessary to file the bracket to increase the gap?
2. Also the outer braket was "bend around" the gear leg after torquing. Is this usual?
3. Is there also a gap required between the inboard bracket and the inboard wear plate?
4.Has anybody detailed pictures? This would be really helpful...
5. What is the correct torque secquence for the gear leg bolts? Starting at the inboard bracket and going to the outboard bracket?
6. I am looking for a picture of the brake line from the brake cylinder to the gear leg. I have installed a 90? fitting on the upper gear leg (four thread turns and teflon tape), i hope it is dense?
Hope the snow storm is not that bad?
Thank you folks!
Anna
