Remove hydraulicpusher and sleeve.Install upper thrust plate cap (8) using six capscrews (1) and lock washers(2). Tighten capscrews (1) evenly until thrust plate cap (8) contacts thrustbearing (6).Using thickness gage, measure space between thrust plate cap (8) and frontchassis (13). Record measurement. This measurement is thickness of shims (9thru 11) that must be installed.Support thrust plate cap (8) and loosen and remove six capscrews (1) and lockwashers (2). Remove thrust plate cap (8).
