Installation Instructions

1.  Remove the front 10 mm bolt through the rear shock.
2.  Remove the upper 12 mm bolt.
3.  Raise and support the wheel to gain access to the lower 12 mm bolt.
4.  Remove the lower 12 mm bolt.
5.  Remove the stock plates.  be mindful of the washers between the stock linkage plates and the lower 12 mm bolt bearing.

Be careful here.  The three bolts go through needle bearing races.  Do not allow the bearing races to slide out of their housing when removing or installing bolts.

Orientation of the new plates is 10 mm whole forward and arched edge on top.

6.  Install the lower 12 mm bolt through the new plates and washers as before being very careful not to push the bearing race out while doing so.  Install 12 mm nut .  Leave the nut loose to facilitate installation of the other bolts.  
7.  Install the remaining 10 mm and 12 mm bolts and nuts.  

Note:  Do not force the bolts in the holes and be mindful of the needle bearing races when installing the bolts.  Moving the rear wheel up or down allows the bolt holes to align making installation easier.

Apply thread-lock and torque bolts per manufacturer's recommendation.
