Hello.

I need help to calibrate the back spindle with main spindle, because maintenance take off the back spindle to repair and put again but they didnt the correct calibration.



Thank you for your help.

ENG-CJPC, contact Citizen, they should have a procedure for this. It should be relatively easy.

1. Put dial indicator in sub
2. Jog to guide bushing (without a guide bushing)
3. Indicate along the angle of the guide bush sleeve
4. Loosen bolts that hold the sub-spindle
5. With rubber mallet, tap the plate that holds the sub-spindle until your dial indicator is good.
6. Tighten bolts

This gets the horizontal position correct and generally acceptable for most parts and applications.

If the sub-spindle is out along the vertical position, I believe you may need to use shims (under the sub-spindle plate) to get it correct.

However, call Citizen, they should have a procedure for this.
