63-11 (Engine Driveline) Forward Flex Plate Shimming (continued)
5. Evaluate flange straightness by calculating the difference between the 3 o’clock
positions in steps 4a and 4b. Also calculate the difference between the 9 o’clock
positions in steps 4a and 4b. If either calculated difference exceeds 0.015 inch, either
one or both flanges are bent and require replacement.
6. Using the smaller average gap from step 4a or 4b, subtract the flex plate average
thickness determined in step 3:
Smaller average gap between flange arms (step 4a or 4b) inch
Subtract flex plate average thickness (step 3) − inch
Total = inch
7. Select shims per Table 63-1 and install forward A947-2 flex plate assembly. Standard
torque nuts and palnuts per § 20-32 and torque stripe per Figure 5-1. Remove F642-1
(engine) shaft weldment temporary support.
WARNING
Shim both arms of flanges equally. All fasteners must meet
torque requirements given in § 20-33.
