The new servo checkball capsule is installed carefully using a 2 1/2 inch long bolt, 3/8 inch diameter. Although the shop manual states it should be installed at 1 5/8, it is actually a pinch deeper:
What is the actual installed depth? ATSG says 1 5/8" as well.
If you look at the checkball capsule, you will see oval slots in the center area. These slots shall be centered in the opening, when looking into the servo bore.
End play is set to approx .125" by dimpling the very center of the cap. Once set, a retaing clip from a turbo 350 is installed for extra security:
How is this end play measured/checked?
You need to do a visual with the output housing removed. I have a steel washer that is 1/8 inch thick. I hold it near the gear, and eyeball it while pushing the gear in and out. Sounds crude, and it is, but works quick and easy, and gets me within a few thou. It is not a critical measurement.
