FOR MODELS: JGZ AND JGU SECTION 5 - MAINTENANCE<br />

5. Check thrust (side) clearance as follows:<br />

a. Install a magnetic stand on the side of crankshaft web, with a button type dial<br />

indicator placed against the side of the connecting rod, as shown in<br />

Figure 5-3.<br />

b. Use a large pry bar to pry against the crankshaft web and thrust connecting<br />

rod (do not pry on rod cap) tight toward dial indicator. Release pressure on<br />

pry bar. Hold rod in place with minimum pressure to keep it from moving. Set<br />

dial indicator to zero. Then pry on the connecting rod to thrust it tight in the<br />

opposite direction and release pressure. Hold in place with minimum<br />

pressure to keep it from moving to determine thrust clearance. Repeat to be<br />

sure reading is accurate.<br />

6. Be sure to remove eye bolts, magnetic stands, dial indicators and pry bars after<br />

taking readings.<br />

7. After installing a new bearing or new connecting rod, check jack and thrust<br />

(side) clearances against the clearance limits. Record values on a copy of the<br />

form on page 5-68.<br />

8. Connecting rods need not be removed from the compressor to replace the crank<br />

pin bearings.<br />
