How do you use an End Play tool: Part II Options

[ericread]

I purchased the following tool and don't quite get how it is to be used:



Before you flame me, I did a search, and I completely read through the following post:

But for some reason, I still don't get it (obviously, I'm riding the short-bus today... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) )

Can anybody explain the theory behind the proper use of this tool?????

My thanks in advance.

Bolt the tool to the case using the long silver bolt.
with a rubber mallet tap the fan end of the crank to push the flywheel back as far as it will go.it is not much, but it needs to be pushed back.

Turn the black bolt until it *just* touches the flywheel. tighten the lock nut to make sure that the black bolt does not change position. Do NOT remove the gage.

Tap the center of the flywheel with your rubber mallet to get it to move forward as far as it will go. There should now be a very small gap between the foot of the black bolt and the flywheel. Use feeler gages to measure the gap.

Be sure that you so not spin the crank as you push it back and forth. you want to be taking your measurements at the exact same point on the flywheel.
