Disconnecting the Lower Link of the Mount from the Steering Servo

Before you can disconnect the lower link of the mount from the steering servo, you must disconnect the lower gas spring (Disconnecting the Lower Gas Spring) and you must disconnect the upper gas spring (Disconnecting the Upper Gas Spring).

CAUTION

The lower pin is the final piece connecting the steering servo to the mount. When you remove the pin, the steering servo, and the drive motor and shaft, if they are still installed, may fall causing injury or damage. Use caution to support the weight of the steering servo before you remove the pin.

NOTE: This procedure is best performed with two people.
  1. Slide the safety rods away from the steering servo to release the lower pivot pin.
    NOTE: The two safety rods don't need to move very far to release the lower pivot pin. If either gas spring is still connected to the lower link, however, the safety rods lock the lower pivot pin in place, and it cannot be removed.
  2. While supporting the weight of the steering servo, push the lower pin out from one side, and pull to remove it completely.

    Removing lower link pivot pin

    The steering servo is no longer connected to the mount.
