5. Use special tool MB991561 to crimp the BJ boot band (Small).
6. Check that crimping amount (B) of the BJ boot band is at the standard value
Standard value (B): 2.4 - 2.8 mm (0.10 - 0.11 inch)
<If the crimping amount is larger than 2.8 mm (0.11 inch)>
Readjust the value of (W) in step 4 according to the
following formula, and then repeat the operation in step 6.
[W = 5.5 mm (0.22 inch) - B]
Example: If B = 2.9 mm (0.11 inch), then W = 2.6 mm (0.10 inch).
If the crimping amount is smaller than 2.4 mm (0.09 inch)>
Remove the BJ boot band, readjust the value of (W) in step 4 according to the following formula, and then repeat the operations in steps 5 and 6
using a new BJ boot band.
[W = 5.5 mm (0.22 inch) - B]
Example: If B = 2.3 mm (0.10 inch), then W = 3.2 mm (0.13 inch).
7. Check that the BJ boot band is not sticking out past the place where it has been installed If the BJ boot band is sticking out, remove it and then
repeat the operations in steps 4 to 6 using a new BJ boot band
