ADJUSTMENT
OF
AN
UPPER
PIVOT
BALL
JOINT
NOTE
- This
operation
is
an
extremely
important
one
since
excessive
tightening
of the
ball
joint
(adjusting
washers
too
thin)
will
lead
to
deformation
of the
socket
and
rapid
deterioration
of the
bearings.
In
the
dismantled
lever
(1)
place
the
upper
socket
(2)
and
the
ball
(3)
(see
P1.63,
fig.3).
Keep
the
assembly
under
slight
pressure
using
the
body
of
the
extractor
1856-T
and
a finger-tight
nut
(see
Pl.
63,
fig.3)
Extractor
1856-T
Make
sure
that
the
face
"a"
of the
socket
is
parallel
to the
bearing
face
"b"
of the
lever
on
the
pivot:
if not,
straighten
the
socket
and
re-tighten
the
nut.
Measure
the
projection
"c"
of
the
socket
with
respect
to
the
bearing
face
"b"
of
the
lever
(straight
edge
MR-3377
fitted
with
dial
gauge
2437-T,
see
Pl.
13,
fig.
3).
With
the
straight
edge
resting
on
the
face
"b"
of
the
lever
and
the
point
of the
dial
gauge
on
face
"a"
of the
socket,
set
the
dial
of
the
dial
gauge
at
zero.

When
the
distance
piece
(4)
is
in
position
on
the
lower
socket
(5),
place
the
straight
edge
on
the
distance
piece
with
the
point
of
the
dial
resting
on
the
bearing
face
of the
washers
(6)
(see
Pl.

(see
Pl.
63,
fig.4).
Set
the
needles
of
the
dial
gauge
to
the
positions
they
occupied
formerly,
and
count
the
number
of
complete
and
partial
revolutions.
For
example,
say,
1.40
mm.
To
obtain
a correct
adjustment,
this
measurement
must
be
reduced
by
0.1
mm.
In
the
example
chosen,
2 spacing
washers
selected
from
among
those
sold
by
our
Spare
Parts
Department
must
be
fitted
and
their
thickness
must
be:
1.40
-
0.10
=
1.30mm
