  2. Measure diaphragm for depth and width wear. See Fig 2. Maximum depth is .024" (.6 mm) and maximum width is .197" (5.0 mm). Replace as necessary.
  3. With dial indicator, inspect flywheel runout. If runout exceeds .004" (.1 mm), replace flywheel. See Fig 3. Turn release bearing by hand while applying axial force. See Fig 4. If a problem is found, replace bearing assembly.
NOTE: Bearing is permanently lubricated and requires no cleaning or lubrication.
