per. You should read and understand these practices
and methods before performing any maintenance

only as far as necessary to repair or replace dam-
aged parts.
In some cases, a part may be damaged during re-

loose, bent, broken, or other wise damaged.
(2) Do not remove bearings or bushings unless
damaged. If you need to remove them to ac-
cess parts behind, carefully pullout bearings
