NOTE: Be sure to keep track of which side each
disc and plate stack is removed from – either the
flange or button side (Figure 63).
9. Measure each plate and disc from the flange
side gear. Remember that the plate has the
“ears”, and the disc is round (Figure 64).
11. Repeat the procedure for the button side gear.
If all eight plates and discs are measured as a
stack, it should be nearly equal to the total of
the individual measurements.
10. Write down the thickness of each plate and
disc. Eight numbers should be written down
and then added to determine the total stack
height.
NOTE: Do not measure the Belleville washer,
which is the dished plate sitting on the side gear.
NOTE: If the stacks are being reused, be sure to
keep the plates and discs in the same order, and
reinstall them in the same sequence as they were
removed. (Figure 65) To help identify the various
components, the plates have ears and can be
found in three thicknesses - .060", .064", and
.068". Discs are round and come in one standard
thickness - .060". Each stack contains four plates
and four discs.
NOTE: The Belleville washer is not measured. It
sits on the side gear with the ears up. When the
stack is compressed, the bellville flattens out to
keep constant pressure on the stack.
