14. Set the pushrod length to the door lock position. Adjust the pushrod so that the fork stop hits the pin (see Point A in image) at the same time as the lower stop hits the pin (see Point B in the image). It may be necessary to keep pressure on the door in the open position so that the lower stop stays in contact with the pin while you adjust the pushrod. Confirm that the door locks in the open position. Torque the jam nuts to 53 in-lbf. Repeat this step for the mirror-image LH side.
15. Install door spring to stud. Ensure that the CB200 applied to the click-bond stud is fully cured. Connect the spring clip to the Click Bond stud and secure with the hardware shown. Torque to the specification show. Repeat for the mirror-image LH side.
