Referring to
Fig
6.3, install two bushes (28) in LH support cap (27).
25
Referring to
Fig
5.1, calculate the shims required between the upper and lower drive arms and the two
support caps as follows:
25.1 Measure the width across the support cap bearing faces on the base - dimension G.
25.2 Measure the distance between the bearing faces of the lower drive arm - dimension H.
25.3 Measure the distance between the bearing faces of the upper drive arm - dimension J.
25.4 Subtract G from H, divide by 2 and, using shims (item 43,
this figure for the lower drive arm, allowing not more than 0.002 in. clearance.
25.5 Subtract G from J, divide by 2 and, using shims (item 43,
this figure for the upper drive arm, allowing not more than 0.002 in. clearance.

Position LH and RH support caps on the balance mechanism, ensuring correct shims are installed on
drive arm pins
