[CQ] ir-5020 doctor gap adjustment

[tricotech1]

Hey guys, I am looking for the actual doctor blade gap adjustment for a developing unit for a Canon Imagerunner 5020. I have poor copy quality from front to rear. I found the gap is out of adjustment on the developing unit. It reads about .020mm on the front and about .045mm on the rear. But, when I look up the blade in the service manual, it just talks about replacing the entire unit. All I need is to set it with my feeler gauges, but I can't find the measurement anywhere. It seems if I guess I either go too big or too small.
Anyone know with any certainty what the measurement is?

Thanks for any help....
