With
pinion gear removed, install reduction gear onto
pinion shaft. Place pinion shaft into center bracket
and secure with washer and snap ring. Measure the
end play with a feeler gauge between center bracket
and gear. If necessary, adjust end play by adding or
removing adjusting washers.
If pinion gear has not been removed, place pinion
shaft and reduction gear between front bracket and
center bracket. With lever spring removed and bolt
tightened, push pinion shaft out and measure end
play. Adjust end
play if necessary by adding or
removing shims.
Pinion Gear Installation
Place spring and pinion gear onto pinion shaft. Slide
stop ring onto pinion shaft and install retaining ring in
groove. Pull stop ring over retaining ring (Figure6lf).

The pinion gap should be
0.3
to
2.0
mm (0.1 18
to
.0787 inch). Adjust by changing the number of
fiber washers used on solenoid mounting surface.
Increasing the number of fiber washers decreases
clearance. Decreasing the number of washers
increases clearance.
