securely in the jaws of special tool.
• Crimp the boot band until special tool
touches the stopper.
7. Use the special tool to crimp the boot band
(small).
8. Check that the crimping amount (C) of the boot
band is at the standard value.
Standard value (C): 2.4 − 2.8 mm
<If the crimping amount is larger than 2.8 mm >
Readjust the value of (W) in step 5 according
to the following formula, and then repeat the
operation in step 7.
W = 5.5 mm − C
Example: If C = 2.9 mm, then W = 2.6 mm.
<If the crimping amount is smaller than 2.4
mm >
Remove the BJ boot band, readjust the value
of (W) in step 5 according to the following
formula, and then repeat the operations in
steps 6 and 7 using a new BJ boot band.
W = 5.5 mm − C
Example: If C = 2.3 mm, then W = 3.2 mm.
9. Check that the boot band is not sticking out past
the place where it has been installed. If the boot
band is sticking out, remove it and then repeat
steps 6 to 8, using a new boot band.
