6. Reclamp the assembly in the vise on the flats of the
sleeve. Using the plug driver, a metal tube or pliers,
bend the outer strands toward the center strands
enough that the socket can be slipped over all the
strands.
NOTE: When assembling stainless steel parts all threads
must be coated with a dry lubricant or an anti-seize
lubricant to prevent seizing.
7. Coat the threads of the socket and sleeve with lubri-
cant and install the socket by twisting it over the
strands of the cable and engage the threads of the
sleeve with the socket. Tighten until four threads or
fewer are visible. If more than four threads are visi-
ble, proof load the cable and retighten the socket fit-
ting. (There is no specific requirement for torque.)
8. Inspect for proper assembly prior to loading the
cable. Strands visible through the inspection hole
are your assurance of a proper assembly.
NOTE: The end of the rope may not be visible in the inspec-
tion hole after loading.

shown previously in Section 5.2, MAST CHAINS
