    54 drag link install

    Has anyone had trouble tightning the link at 3rd arm. I cant seem to tighten it down far enough to get the cotter pin in. s12 says take out the slack and back it off but it seems bottomed out. I carefull took a hammer to it to see if its positioned correctly and it is. I really only need one more turn. Any suggestions? Thanks as usual!!

    Maybe the ball seat rotated out of its groove as you were turning the adjuster screw. If it did you would lose about 1/4" or less of adjustment.

        Glad you got it tightened. I normally grease the inner assembly really well to avoid the issue. Works alot better.
