Default Need help with WM SS40 Steering Pushrod

I can't come up with a good way to install the z-bend of the nose wheel steering pushrod in the steering arm. I don't see how I am going to make that z-bend go into the steering arm after the nose wheel assembly is installed in the motor mount. If I bend the wire then it won't move freely. If I install it before I put the assembly in the mount then it will get bent too. I am thinking about using a threaded rod instead with a clevis. Any help would be appreciated. As you know there are no text instructions with the WM SS40, only pictures.

Thanks,

JimboP

Just put the z-bend in the hole in the steering arm first then push the nose gear wire up thru the hole and make sure you get the wheel collars in the order they need to go in on the nose gear to get the ride height needed.

A z-bend isn't needed. Simply bend the wire at 90 degrees leaving 3/4 inch to engage the tiller arm. It won't come out.
