>>D<< SNAP RING INSTALLATION

Using snap ring pliers, fit the snap ring so that the snap ring’s 
tapered part is on the outside.

.

>>E<< SELF-LOCKING NUT INSTALLATION

Using a special tool, as when removing the nut, secure the 
armature and tighten the self-locking nut.

.

>>F<< AIR GAP ADJUSTMENT

Check whether or not the air gap of the clutch is within the stan-
dard value.

Standard value:

 0.25 

− 0.45 mm (0.010 − 0.017 inch)

NOTE: If there is a deviation of the air gap from the standard 
value, make the necessary adjustment by adjusting the number 
of shims.

A/C REFRIGERANT TEMPERATURE SWITCH

CAUTION

Do not heat more than necessary.
1. Dip the metal part of the A/C refrigerant temperature switch 

into engine oil and increase the oil temperature using a gas 
burner or similar.

2. When the oil temperature reaches the standard value, check 

that voltage is supplied between the terminals.

Standard value: 

NOTE: When the oil temperature is 135

CAUTION

As the compressor oil and receiver are highly moisture 
absorbent, use a non-porous material to plug the hose and 
nipples.
To prevent the entry of dust or other foreign bodies, plug the 
dismantled hose and condenser assembly nipples. 

Pre-removal and Post-installation Operation
• Refrigerant Draining and Refilling (Refer to 

P.55A-108
