impeller seal surface down on emery paper.
Apply light and even pressure on impeller drive
boss with index finger.
Lap seal surface by sliding impeller across emery
paper in a figure 8 path. Make only 3 or 4 passes
before checking surface.
When grooves are gone, wipe off surface plate
with a clean cloth. Replace sandpaper with plain
bond paper. Repeat lapping operation on paper to
polish the seal surface to a mirror finish.
Visually check seal surface condition. Surface must
reflect light evenly.
After lapping, check impeller height with an out-
side caliper per Step 1 of INSPECTION. If impel-
ler height is less than 0.585 inch (14,85 mm), im-
peller cannot be reused.

FOLLOW-ON Maintenance: Install impeller, armature, and
field tube assembly (paragraph 2-18).
