(5) Assemble Dial Indicator C-3339 into Scooter
Block D-115-2 and secure set screw.
(6) Place Scooter Block/Dial Indicator in position
in axle housing so dial probe and scooter block are
flush against the surface of the pinion height block.
Hold scooter block in place and zero the dial indica-
tor face to the pointer. Tighten dial indicator face
lock screw.
(7) With scooter block still in position against the
pinion height block, slowly slide the dial indicator
probe over the edge of the pinion height block.
Observe how many revolutions counterclockwise the
dial pointer travels (approximately 0.125 in.) to the
out-stop of the dial indicator.
(8) Slide the dial indicator probe across the gap
between the pinion height block and the arbor bar
