Gap x = a - b - 2.65 mm
The measuring points are shown in the illustration to help you understand the formula. Special tool 3459, which exerts a force -F- onto the plate
packet via the retaining ring, is not illustrated.
Dimension a, determining - see below.
Dimension b, determining - see below.
2.65 mm - The amount for settling is taken into account by force F
1
ATF pump
2
Retaining ring
3
Plates for -B2- without last outer plate
4
