near the suspected area on the shaft.

Feelers are inserted between the coupling

flanges, and if there is a greater distance

between the faces at one part of the

coupling than at another, the shafts are out

of alignment at these places.

e. Place a straight edge across edges of

flanges at top and side to check parallel

alignment of coupling edges.

Place a 0.002-inch feeler gauge between

flanges of coupling and slide feeler gauge

completely around coupling.

g. Rotate transmission flange coupling 90,

180 and 270 degrees while moving feeler

gauge around the flange in each

successive position. If the alignment is

correct, the feeler gauge will fit snugly, with

same tension all around flange coupling.

h. Bolt transmission output flange and shaft

coupling (20) together with eight bolts (18)

and nuts (19).
