(2) Remove nuts and locks from rocker plate studs on right side of vehicle. This releases gun scabbard carrier and mudguard stay clip. NOTE: Remove the large nut which secures the long stud to rigid fork.
(3) Drive out studs from fork ends, releasing rocker plate.
(4) Install studs and rocker plate before removing studs from left side of vehicle.
j. Install Rocker Plate Studs. Apply grease to studs and insert in rocker plate, then install large flat washers on studs before mounting this assembly on fork ends. Make sure that short stud is in front position, and that long stud is in rear position for the rigid fork.
(1) Drift studs (with plate assembly) into fork end holes from the inside.
(2) Install special nut lock (with half round hole) on front stud and turn stud as necessary to make lock “cup” over end of fork. Install and tighten stud nut and bend up end of lock for security. Place lock washer over long stud and install thick nut, securely tightening it.
(3) Attach end of gun scabbard carrier and mudguard brace clip with special lock to long stud, replacing washer and nut.
(4) After right side rocker plate and/or studs have been installed, remove and install studs and/or plate on left side of vehicle following same step‐by‐step procedure as above. The exceptions will be ammunition box carrier instead of scabbard carrier; also, the left side front stud is special, having a “button” end.
(5) Install front wheel (par. [125]).
