===== Step 9.1 – Identify parts =====

The pitman arm pins are the small cylinders on top.  The equalize is in the middle flanked by pitman arms.  The equalize and pins are bidirectional.  The pitman arms are identical.

<WRAP important>
The upper pitman arms are obviously very thin.  This part can be easily broken if care is not taken.
