<If the crimping amount is larger than 2.8 mm>
Read just the value of (W) in step (5) according
to the following formula, and then repeat the
operation in step (7).
W = 5.5 mm - B
Example: If B = 2.9, then W = 2.6 mm.
<If the crimping amount is larger than 2.4 mm>
Remove the B.J. boot band, read just the value
of (W) in step (5) according to the following
formula, and then repeat the operations in steps
(6) and (7) using a new B.J. boot band.
W = 5.5 mm - B
Example: If B = 2.3, then W = 3.2 mm.
(9) Check that the B.J. boot band is not sticking out past the
place where it has been installed. If the B.J. boot band is
sticking out, remove it and then repeat the operations in
steps (6) to (8) using a new B.J. boot band.

Standard value (C): 0.1 - 1.5 mm
(12) Follow the same procedure as in step (5) to adjust the
size of the opening (W) on the special tool so that it is at
the standard value.
Standard value (W): 3.2 mm
(13) Place the B.J. boot band (large) against the projection at
