chamber mounting face are in the same position as
on the existing axle (see figure 10-17).
n. Tack weld the power chamber in place.
o . Check all clearances and weld the cast re-

q. Again compare the slack adjuster angle, push
rod angle, and push rod to mounting face angle with
that of the original axle. Also, check for bind be-

out, weld the power chamber bracket on.
