12. Install the boot band (large) against the projection at the boot end to provide clearance D as shown in the illustration.
13. Crimp the boot band (large) with the special tool in the same manner as described in 6 above.
14. Make sure that the amount of boot band crimping is within the range of standard value (E).
Standard value (E): 2.4-2.8 mm (0.094-0.110 inch)
<When amount of crimping is above 2.8 mm (0.110 inch)>
Readjust W given in 11 to a value obtained by the following formula and repeat work described in 13 above.
W = 5.8 mm (0.228 inch)-E
[Example: When E = 2.9 mm (0.114 inch), W = 2.9 mm (0.114 inch)]
<When amount of crimping is below 2.4 mm (0.094 inch)>
Remove the boot band, readjust W given in 11 to a value calculated by the following formula and repeat work described in 12 and
13 by using a new boot band.
W = 5.8 mm (0.228 inch)-E
[Example: When E = 2.3 mm (0.091 inch), W = 3.5 mm (0.138 inch)]
