selecting a suitable snap ring.
(1) Temporarily install new snap ring on drive shaft in the same
thickness as it was installed before removal.
(2) Set dial gauge on drive shaft end.
(3) Measure axial end play of drive shaft.
Axial end play: 0.1 - 0.3 mm (0.004 - 0.012 in)
(4) If axial end play is not within the specified limit, select another
snap ring.
