7.2.3 Adjustments Required before/after Repair


The following pages show work procedures, adjustments, and inspections
required when removing or replacing parts or components. When repairing
multiple parts or components, be sure to perform all the required work
procedures for all the parts or components. If multiple adjustments are required
and you perform them one by one individually, make sure to start from the one
listed uppermost in the table. The adjustments must be performed in order from
the top to the bottom.
To help you to easily find target parts or components in the tables on the
following pages, the tables are divided by category as shown below. Check the
table below first.
