Using the following calculation, calculate an appropriate thickness "T" of the thrust bearing.
NOTE: Adjust using 1 piece.

T = (H1 - 15 mm (0.6 in)) - (H2 - H3) - 0.05 - 0.25 mm (0.002 - 0.010 in)

T	Thrust bearing thickness mm (in)
H1	Measured value (mm (in)) of step (2)
H2	Measured value (mm (in)) of step (3)
H3	Measured value (mm (in)) of step (4)
15 mm (0.6 in)	Thickness of ST
0.05 - 0.25 mm (0.002 - 0.010 in)	Clearance specification

Install the thrust bearing (A) and needle bearing (B).
NOTE: Make sure to install the thrust bearing in the right direction.
