  1. 11
    Turn weight block a few times to ensure that bearing is properly seated.

  2. 12
    Read dial indicator.
    Normal indication: 0.10 - 0.30 mm (0.0039 - 0.0018 in)
    If the needle fluctuated erratically then bearing is either dirty or damaged and should be cleaned or replaced.
  3. 13
    Measure both bearings in the same way and write the left side bearing measurement next to "E" and the right side bearing measurement next to "F".
  4. 14
    Substitute these values into the equation to calculate the thickness of the shim.
Europe model: Left side T₁ = (A - C + D - H) x 0.01 + 2.07 + E Right side T₂ = (B - D + H) x 0.01 + 1.97 + F + G Except Europe model: Left side T₂ = (B - D + H) x 0.01 + 1.97 + F + G Right side T₁ = (A - C + D - H) x 0.01 + 2.07 + E
