SNAP RING INSTALLATION NOTE
1. Insert the snap ring to the pin while slightly expanding the snap ring end using snap ring pliers.
2. After securing the snap ring, verify that there is no excessive play between the snap ring and pin.
CAUTION:
Remove the snap ring such that the dimension is maintained as
indicated in the figure.
Because the snap ring is to be reused, remove it carefully so that the
ring is not expanded.
