Fit the U-bolts and hand-tighten the U-bolt nuts. 6. Apply lubrication grease to the shackle pins, bearing bushes and sealing rings. 7. Fit the shackle pins in the correct position (lubricating nipples on the correct side). Avoid damaging the sealing rings. 8. Fit a ring (3) on either side of the spring (2). 9. Lower the chassis or raise the axle until the shackle pin (4) just touches the spring bracket (1), but can still be rotated. Then rotate the shackle pin (4) until its flat side is parallel with the bottom of the spring bracket. 10. Secure the lock plates (5) with the locking bolts (6). The lock plates (5) should rest against the flat side of the shackle pin (4). 11. Tighten lock bolts (6) evenly on both sides of the spring (1), until the shackle pin (4) fits properly in the spring bracket (1). 12.
