groove (you can rotate the circlip in its groove to check
that it is correctly installed).
2. Try to move the bearing sideways in its housing to
check whether there is any play.
If there is no play, the installation is correct. You do not
need to install any compensation washers and you can
continue with the installation of the rest of the pivot
components.
3. If there is sideways play in the bearing, remove the circlip.
4. Install the 0.3 mm washer and reinstall the circlip,
checking for bearing sideways play with the circlip fully
installed.

washer has been installed, remove that washer
and install two 0.1 mm washers. If it is not possi-
ble to install the circlip when both 0.1 mm wash-
ers have been installed, remove one of them and
reinstall the circlip.
5. When there is no play after installing the circlip, the
installation is correct. You can continue with the instal-
lation of the rest of the pivot components.
