Don't be a Samson when you hookup or unhook (he speedometer cable on your M 151 1,4 -ton truck. Unless you know all the angles you'll ruin the speedometer right-angle-drive adapter. This item (Ord Part No. 10885535) is not in the supply system, so if you break it you've got troubles. Never, but never, use a wrench on it because it's made of pot.metal and

will snap when overtorqued. Tighten it finger-tip tight only. And use only your fingers when loosening it. A little lube on the threads will make this easier. If you do break a right-angle-drive adapter you'll have to replace it by cannibalization.

There are some FSN 5310-010-6500 minimum or above the maximum thick· Jock washers that may fall in the .099· ness allowable.

But, since there have been reports of local purchase issues under this FSN that are In mIOlmum-.l09-tn maximum thickoutside the right thickness range, ask ness range but most washers stocked your support people to mike any of !lnder this FSN are either below the these washers before you install 'em.
