Eclipse V6-3.0L SOHC (2003)
Standard value (C): 0.1 - 1.55 mm (0.004 - 0.061 inch)
10. Follow the same procedure as in step 3 to adjust the size of the opening (W) on special tool MB991561 so that it is at the standard value.
Standard value (W): 3.2 mm (0.13 inch)
11. Place the BJ boot band (large) against the projection at the edge of the boot, and then secure it so that there is a clearance left as shown by (D) in
the illustration.
12. Use special tool MB991561 to crimp the BJ boot band (large) in the same way as in step 5.
13. Check that the crimping amount (E) of the BJ boot band is at the standard value and that the crimping amount (F) of the BJ boot band is at the
limited value.
Standard value (E): 2.4 - 2.8 mm (0.10 - 0.11 inch)
Limited value (F): 9.5 mm (0.40 inch)
If the crimping amount is larger than 2.8 mm (0.11 inch)>
Readjust the value of (W) in step 10 according to the following formula, and then repeat the operation in step 12.
[W = 5.8 mm (0.23 inch) - E]
Example: If E = 2.9 mm (0.11 inch), then W = 2.9 mm (0.11 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 10 according to the following formula, and then repeat the operations in steps 11 and
12 using a new BJ boot band.
[W = 5.8 mm (0.23 inch) - E]
Example: If E = 2.3 mm (0.10 inch) then W = 3.5 mm (0.15 inch).
14. 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 11 to 13 using a new BJ boot band.
