Default Thrust Bearing End Play Write-Up?
I've seen a couple times in the past a very good write-up with pics documenting the procedure to check end play and release flexplate loading. I want to add it to the FAQ topic, but can't seem to locate it.

Can anyone assist?

Thanks.

That's a good one by Tony, but the one I recall showed additional steps on marking the spindle and releasing the pinch collar to check for preload.

At Frenzy last year, Tom Falkenberg did a tech session on this with some great handouts. Maybe he still has the file and can send it to you. (OR - post it!)
