1. Set the A/C compressor on a level block.
2. Fix a dial gauge on a magnetic base and set the measuring probe on the pressure plate surface.




3. Alternately apply and remove battery positive voltage as shown in the figure. The clearance is the difference in the dial gauge readings.
4. Compare the measured clearance with the specified clearance below.
Clearance : 0.4 - 0.6 mm (0.016 - 0.023 in)




5. If not as specified, install shims to adjust the clearance.
