16.Assess the damage to the cross-member and welded bracket. Make repairs as necessary to restore back to original location.
NOTE: STEPS 17-20 cover FRAME CROSS-MEMBER repairs and installation of the SUPPORT PLATE.
17.Once the cross-member is restored, position the pre-drilled SUPPORT PLATE on the inside channel of the CROSSMEMBER and use as a template in drilling eight holes in the cross-member. Secure the support plate into position with two C-Clamps at the locations shown. Make sure to match-up the square hole in the plate with the square
hole in the cross-member.
18.Using the 9/32" and 11/32" drill bits provided, drill holes
in the cross-member in the sequence illustrated. Use the 9/32" drill bit for bracket holes (1,2,3,4) and the 11/32" drill bit on the outer ends of the support plate (5,6,7,8).
19.After the first hole in the sequence is drilled, tighten the plate with a bolt, washer, and nut to secure the crossmember for proper hole alignment. Drill the next hole in sequence and, when completed, fasten with bolt, washer and nut and tighten. Complete drilling the remaining holes, and install bolt, washer, nut and tighten.
20.Install the lift motor in reverse order of removal. If the lift actuator screw was turned, refer to STEPS 21-24.
