Step 8

	Take the front C-hub carriers and remove the burrs with a sharp hobby knife.
	The C-hubs are not coded left or right but we start with assembling the right side so take the C-hub carrier that is the same as in the picture. Place at the red marked spots two metal bushing> The ones like shown in the front of the C-hub carrier.
	Also the CNC anodized T6-7075 aluminum steering knuckles are not coded but the picture shows what is left and right. The small upper edge at the end of the steering are is making the difference
	The X1-CR comes with a patented system for mounting the steering knuckle in the C-hub carrier. This slotted bolt is the key to it.
	The CNC anodized T6-7075 aluminum steering knuckles have a slot inside. By placing the slotted bolts in the slot an easy replaceable king pin is reached without using thread lock.
	Slide the right steering knuckle in the C-hub carrier.  Slide from the inside of the steering knuckle the slotted bolts through the steering bushings and secure each end of the thread with a 4 mm lock nut.
	Slide a 8 x 156 x 5 mm ball bearing in the inside of the steering knuckle.
	Slide a front universal drive shaft full through as the picture shows.
	Place an other 8 x 16 x 5 mm ball bearing.
	Slide a 17 mm hexagon wheel adapter on the universal shaft end and align the holes. Slide a 2.5 x 16,3 mm steel pin through it.
	Secure the pin with a 5 x 4 mm hexagon set screw using a 2.5 mm hexagon tool. Do not use thread lock at this screw.
	To firmly tight the screw take a rim and place it on the 17 mm hexagon wheel adapter. Now take the L-shape 2.5 mm hexagon tool and tight the set screw firmly.
	Perform the same steps for the left hand side and this is the result.
	The new king pin construction is perfect one which enables easy maintenance and replacement.
