b. Install the valve body unit on the gearbox, and tighten the flange bolts to the specified torque.
c. Measure the clearance between the gearbox and valve body unit using a feeler gauge as shown.
NOTE: Measure the clearance at the point midway between the two mounting bolts.
d. Determine the required thickness of the 44 mm shims by subtracting the clearance obtained in the step - 3 from the total thickness of the four
shims. (Total thickness of the 4 shims) - (Clearance) = Required thickness of the shims
NOTE: Select the shims so that the total thickness is close to, but less than the required thickness.
Example:
Measurement is 0.28 mm (0.011 in):
0.07 - 0.28 = 0.42 mm (0.028 - 0.011 = 0.017 in)
The selected shims should be 0.25 mm (0.010 in) and 0.15 mm (0.006 in) in thickness.
If the required shim thickness is 0.10 mm or less, no shims are necessary.
25. Set the selected 44 mm shims on the bearing surface of the gearbox housing.
26. Coat the new O-ring with grease, and carefully fit it on the valve housing.
27. Apply grease to the needle bearing in the gearbox housing.
28. Install the valve body unit on the gearbox housing by engaging the gears.
NOTE: Note the valve body unit installation position (direction of line connection).
