 |
Depending on the specification of the feeler gauge a locking device may permit individual leaves to be removed for single use or replacement. | |||
 |
A leaf can only be replaced if a feeler gauge has an unscrewable locking device, a feature associated with high end gauges. | |||
 |
Simply unscrew the nut, removing old leaves by lifting them from the central notch.
Add new leaves as required, making sure the leaves are replaced in the correct size order. |
|||
 |
You should only use replacement leaves specified for your gauge model (identifiable by brand or model number).
If leaves are not compatible the set will not reassemble correctly. |
