    5. Using the following calculation, select an appropriate washer thickness "T".
      NOTE: Adjust using 1 piece.

      T = (H1 - 15 mm (0.6 in)) - (H2 - 15 mm (0.6 in)) - 0.75 - 0.95 mm (0.030 - 0.037 in)

    T Washer thickness mm (in)
    H1 Measured value (mm (in)) of step (1)
    H2 Measured value (mm (in)) of step (4)
    15 mm (0.6 in) Thickness of ST
    0.75 - 0.95 mm (0.030 - 0.037 in) Clearance specification
