6. Check clearance around entire periphery of clutch disc. If specified clearance is not obtained, replace adjusting spacer
and readjust.
Break-in Operation
When replacing compressor clutch assembly, always carry out break-in operation. This is done by engaging
and disengaging clutch about thirty-times. Break-in oper ation raises the level of transmitted torque.

While pulling, be careful not to damage (p eeling) the outside of the hood lock cable.
INSTALLATION
1. Pull the hood lock cable through the panel hole to the engine room.
Be careful not to bend the cable too much, keeping the radius
100 mm (3.94 in) or more.
2. Make sure the cable is not offset from the positioning grommet, and push the grommet into the panel hole securely.
3. Apply the sealant to the grommet (at * mark) properly.
4. Install the cable securely to the lock.
5. After installing, check the hood lock adjustment and hood opener operation.
Hood Lock Control InspectionINFOID:0000000001327786
CAUTION:
If the hood lock cable is bent or deformed, replace it.
1. Make sure that the hood lock secondary latch is properlyengaged with the secondary striker with hood's own weight.
2. Make sure that the hood lock primary latch is securely engaged with the hood striker with hood's own weight by dropping it from
approx. 200 mm (7.87 in) height.
CAUTION:
Do not drop hood from a he ight of 300 mm (11.81 in) or
more.
3. When pulling hood opener lever gently, make sure that front end of the hood rises by approximately 20 mm (0.79 in) and that hood striker and hood lock primary latch are disengaged. Also make sure that hood
opener returns to the original position.
