1. Remove the intermediate band cover (747) and the band cover gasket (749).
2. Scribe a mark on the piston rod (752).
3. Apply compressed air into the intermediate servo fluid pressure passage, indicated in the illustration by the number 1.
4. Scribe a second mark on the piston rod. Using a vernier caliper, measure the length of the piston rod stroke, indicated in the illustration by the number 1.

Specification
Confirm that the measurement of the piston rod stroke is 1.5-3.0 mm (0.06-0.11 in).

5. If the measurement is out of specification replace the intermediate band, or replace the piston rod (752) with a rod of a different length. The piston rod is available in two different lengths:

• | The 121.3 mm (4.77 in) piston rod is unmarked

• | The 122.7 mm (4.83 in) piston rod is marked, as indicated in the illustration

6. Using the fluid pan bolts (723) which you previously removed, install a J 35534 .
