Readjust the value of (W) in step (11) according
to the following formula, and then repeat the
operation in step (13).
W = 5.8 mm - B
Example: If B = 2.9 mm, then W = 2.9 mm.
Remove the U.J. boot band, readjust the value
of (W) in step (11) according to the following
formula, and then repeat the operations in
steps (12) and (13) using a new U.J. boot band.
W = 5.8 mm - B
Example: If B = 2.3 mm, then W = 3.5mm.
15. Check that the U.J. boot band is not sticking out past
the place where it has been installed.
If the U.J. boot band is sticking out, remove it and then
repeat the operations in steps (12) to (14) using a new
U.J. boot band.
