Rocker Arm/Tie-Rod Bearing, Sleeve Inspection
                          NOTICE
  Do not remove the bearings for inspection. Re-
  moval may damage them.

• Visually inspect the rocker arm, or tie-rod sleeves [A] and
  needle bearings [B].
• The rollers in a needle bearing normally wear very little,
  and wear is difficult to measure. Instead of measuring,
  inspect the bearing for abrasion, color change, or other
  damage.
  If there is any doubt as to the condition of any of the nee-
  dle bearings or sleeve, replace the sleeve and needle
  bearings as a set.
Rocker Arm/Tie-Rod Bearing Lubrication
                            NOTE
  ○Since the bearings are packed with grease, lubrication
   is not required.
