  6. Place the driven plate, drive plate and retaining plate neatly in this order on surface table.
  7. Set the dial gauge to retaining plate, and read its scale.
    NOTE: The value, which is read in the gauge at this time, is zero point.
  8. Scale and record the weight "Z" of a flat board which will be put on retaining plate.
    NOTE:
    • Use a stiff board which does not bend against load as a flat board to be put on retaining plate.
    • Use a flat board weighing less than 29 N (3.0 kgf, 6.5 lb).
  9. Put the flat board on retaining plate.

  10. Using the following formula, read the push/pull gauge and calculate "N".

    N = 29 N (3.0 kgf, 6.5 lb) - Z

    29 N (3.0 kgf, 6.5 lb): Load applied to clutch plate

    Z: Flat board weight

  11. Press the center of retaining plate by applying a force of "N" using push/pull gauge, and then measure and record the compression amount "A".
    NOTE: Measure at four points with a 90° interval and calculate the average.

  12. Install the dish plate, drive plate, driven plate, retaining plate and snap ring to the reverse brake housing.
    NOTE: Install the dish plate in the correct direction.

  14. Piston stroke calculation

    Calculate with A and B dimensions recorded before. If it exceeds the limit, replace with a new drive plate and adjust within the initial standard value.

    S mm (in) = A + B

    S: Piston stroke

    A: Compression amount of drive plate and dish plate

    B: Clearance between retaining plate and snap ring

    Initial standard:

    1.8 - 2.2 mm (0.071 - 0.087 in)

    Limit thickness:

    2.4 mm (0.094 in)
