NOTE:
^ The adapter plate will be the base point for the measurement. Use a scraper to remove any gasket material remaining on the end face.
^ During measurement, do not place the height gauge in the shaded area shown in the figure.





3) Measure the height to the ball bearing end face (height H).





NOTE:
^ Set the height gauge indicator near the measurement target, and lock dial (1) as shown in the figure. Turn dial (2), and set the indicator to the end face of the bearing.





^ Turn approximately 120° at a time, and measure the ball bearing in 5 locations. Round off the 2 highest and 2 lowest measurement values. The remaining center value is used as the measurement value.

4) According to the measurement value, select the snap ring and washer from the following table.
