    SHIM SIZE SPECIFICATION TABLE

    Average the 3 readings Example
    Reading A 0.019
    Reading B 0.014
    Reading C +0.021Β 
    0.054 Γ· 3 = 0.018
    Final Shim Size 0.018
    NOTE: The shaft must be lifted equally on both sides or it may bind on one side, resulting in an incorrect reading.
