J 39354 Rivet Installer

Notice: Use care when drilling through the backplate rivets. Once the rivet has been drilled through, the drill bit may catch on the backplate causing damage to the drill bit and/or the backplate.

Important: Replace all three thrust plates if one thrust plate needs replacing.

1. Using a 3.56 mm (9/64 in) drill bit, drill through the heads of six rivets (1).
2. Remove the rivets and three gear thrust plates (2).

Important: Set the gap of the rivet installer to 4.45 mm (0.175 in). If the rivet connection is too loose, use a smaller gap.

3. Using J 39354 , install three new gear thrust plates (2) and six rivets (1) so that the rivets are flush or below the surface of the thrust plates.
4. Make sure rivets (1) and thrust plates (2) are not loose.
