SERVICE INFORMATION

This bulletin is being issued to revise the previous generator service procedure in Section 6D3 of the Service Manual. The revised procedure deletes the need to remove the drive axle and generator splash shield. Instead, the intermediate steering shaft lower pinch bolt is removed. Then the intermediate shaft is separated from the steering gear. A jacking fixture is installed to support the rear of the frame. The two rear frame bolts are removed and the frame is then lowered no more than 100 mm (4 in.), gaining access to the generator.

Refer to the proper vehicle Service Manual and other Service Bulletins for specific sub-component removal, installation and tightening specifications.
