Top Plate Removal
3. Top Plate Removal
IMPORTANT: The FW35TT/XA-351-TT Series fifth wheel
assembly has replaceable pocket inserts
installed between the fifth wheel top
plate and mounting base. When removing
the top plate, the pocket inserts will either
remain inside of the top plate pockets, on
top of the mounting bracket caps, or may
fall out.
Failure to prevent pocket inserts from
falling out of the top plate could cause a
potentially hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, could result in minor or
moderate injury.
1. Remove the clinch pins from the bracket pins on both
sides of the fifth wheel top plate (Figure 5).
2. Using a pry bar, pull the bracket pins out on both sides of
the fifth wheel top plate (Figure 5).
3. Disconnect the air lines from the air cylinder under the
fifth wheel top plate. If the fifth wheel is equipped with
auto-lube, disconnect the grease lines.
4. Using a lifting device capable of lifting 500 lbs. (227 kg),
remove the top plate from the mounting base. Place the
fifth wheel upside down on a flat, clean working area.
NOTE: Follow the instructions published by the lifting
device manufacturer for proper operation of the
lifting device.
5. Completely remove all components from the fifth wheel
and discard.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT reuse old parts that were
removed during disassembly.
Do not hit steel parts with a steel
hammer as parts could break, sending
steel fragments flying in any direction
creating a hazard which, if not avoided,
may result in minor to moderate injury.
6. Thoroughly steam clean the top plate.
7. Inspect the fifth wheel top plate for cracks, damage,
distortion, and loose lock pin holes. Fifth wheels with
cracks, damage, distortion or loose lock pin holes MUST
be replaced.

improper fifth wheel operation and
trailer separation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.

of the top plate casting (Figure 7). Start two (2)
M12 x 1.75 x 40 mm hex head cap screws to hold the
spring block in position.
5. Install the yoke spring over the spring block tube, as
illustrated in Figure 8.
6. Finish securing the spring block by tightening the hex
head cap screws, alternating back and forth, until each is
torqued to 80 ft-lb. (108 N•m) (Figure 8).

Rebuild Procedures
5. Lock Installation
1. Lubricate the lock pin holes of the lock jaws with Never-
Seez (provided with the kit) (Figure 9).
IMPORTANT: Only use Never-Seez when lubricating the
lock pin holes of lock jaws. DO NOT use a
substitute lubricant.
2. Attach the lock spring onto the lock jaws and force them
closed, extending the lock spring (Figure 9).
3. Slide the closed lock jaws into the top plate casting,
lining up the lock pin holes of the lock jaws with the lock
pin holes in the casting. Be sure to position the lock jaws
with the kingpin guides facing away from the casting
(Figure 9). The yoke will hold the locks closed once they
are in place.
4. With the lock jaws properly positioned in the casting,
drive the lock pins up from underneath the casting,
through the aligned lock pin holes of the casting and
lock jaws until the heads are flush with the casting
(Figure 10).
NOTE: The spring on the lock jaws may pull the lock pin
holes out of alignment when installing the lock
pins. If needed, insert a bracket pin through the
lock pin holes from the top to align the lock pin
holes while installing the lock pin from the bottom.
5. Install the lock pin washers and M27 x 3 lock nuts onto
the lock pins to secure (Figure 10). Torque to 140-160
ft-lb (190 to 217 N•m). Use the hex feature on the end
of the lock pins to hold the lock pin stationary while
torquing the lock nut.

CLEVIS
9. Air Cylinder Installation
Refer to Figure 20 for the following steps for air cylinder
installation:
1. Install a bushing into the hole of the cam plate. Place
the 5/8" I.D. x 1-1/4" O.D. washer on the underside of
the cam plate, aligned with the bushing. Orient the air
cylinder so the air fitting port faces the cam springs (see
illustration) and position the air cylinder clevis over the
cam plate, bushing and washer, aligning the holes.
NOTE: Ensure that the air cylinder clevis in this step is
the one on the rod end of the air cylinder.
2. Feed a M12 x 1.75 x 40 mm hex head cap screw up
through the aligned holes, and loosely secure with a
M12 x 1.75 lock nut. (The head of the cap screw MUST
be toward the fifth wheel top plate surface.)
3. Install the remaining bushing into the hole of the
mounting tab on the casting and position the remaining
air cylinder clevis over it, aligning the holes.
4. Feed the remaining M12 x 1.75 x 40 mm hex head cap
screw up through the aligned holes, with the head of
the cap screw toward the fifth wheel top plate surface,
and secure with the remaining M12 x 1.75 lock nut.
Complete installation of the air cylinder by tightening
the first lock nut.

Operation Check
12. Operation Check
1. To check operation of the fifth wheel, use HOLLAND lock
tester (Part No. TF-TLN-5001) to close the fifth wheel
locks. Verify that the locks are properly closed around the
lock tester. Activate the fifth wheel release switch and
remove the lock tester. Repeat this step three (3) times to
verify proper operation (Figure 29).
NOTE: HOLLAND lock tester (Part No. TF-TLN-5001) is
available from a local HOLLAND distributor.
NOTE: To operate a TF-TLN-5001 lock tester, refer to
Document No. XL-FW10082ST-en-US, available
on the internet at www.safholland.us, which
contains specific lock tester instructions.
After three (3) successful operational checks, the fifth wheel
will be ready for operation.
IMPORTANT: Before using the fifth wheel, visually
inspect all components of the fifth
wheel for proper operation while
coupling and uncoupling the fifth wheel
with the lock tester.
Failure to repair an improperly operating
fifth wheel could result in tractor-trailer
separation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to read and understand the fifth
wheel operation instructions published
in Document No. XL-FW20135UM-en-US
(XA-351-TT and XA-351-UBT Owner's
Manual) available on the internet at
www.safholland.us prior to use.
Failure to read and understand fifth
wheel operation instructions prior to use
could result in improper operation of the
fifth wheel which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
