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) shown 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

13. Check that the crimping amount (E) of the BJ boot band is at the standard value.
Standard value (E): 2.4 - 2.8 mm (0.09 - 0.11 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 (0.23 inch) mm - E Example: If E = 2.9 mm (0.11
inch), then W = 2.9 mm (0.11 inch). Of 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 operating in steps 11 and 12 using a new BJ boot band. W = 5.8 (0.23 inch)
