Air O Matic install?

[Parker2]

Hey, guys. I installed my Air O Matic kit this weekend. I got it all installed finally. I had some 41 year old parts that did not want to come apart. Anyway when installing the caps on the drag link I had a problem tightening up the end cap. This is the end closest to the axle. It was impossible to get it all the way in. Yes I used the proper tool. There was a spacer behind the spring that would not allow the cap to go in all the way. I removed the spacer and all is well. Everything seems tight and fitting well.

Did anyone else run into this?

Yes, The rubber spacers are for packing and must be removed from both ends of the new drag link.. It just so happened they were the same as the rubber parts used to mount the power cylinder to the bracket. I had problems getting that to fit and had to play around with trimming the rubber a bit and I ended up using the extra rubber parts for it.

Thanks for the response. I didnt leave the rubber spacer in there. This was a metal spacer behind the spring.
