The coverside pitch holes are designed for semi-press fit on the pins and should never be altered. Press the coverside on the pins and install the "UNSPRUNG HERO" clip. Be sure the clip opening is trailing. Tap the connecting link pin ends gently. This positions the clip snug against the coverside which will lend support to the clip. This prevents the possibility of a tight joint due to the coverside being squeezed on too far. Refer to the owners manual or dealer shop manual for tension and alignment recommendations.
Attach "UNSPRUNG HERO" clip with the clip opening trailing the direction of travel
