Claim 3:
4. The manufacturing method according to claim 1, wherein:
the adjustment screw has a non-threaded outer peripheral portion that is opposed to the inner wall of the sleeve and is located at an axial position that is displaced from the male threaded portion;
the sleeve has a plurality of deformable portions that are located at an axial position corresponding to the non-threaded outer peripheral portion and are respectively placed at a plurality of circumferential locations, each of which is diametrically opposed to another one of the plurality of circumferential locations about a rotational axis of the adjustment screw, wherein each of the plurality of deformable portions is locally plastically deformable by a load applied in a radially inward direction; and
the manufacturing method further comprises a fixing step that includes fixing the sleeve and the adjustment screw together after the pressure adjusting step by plastically deforming the plurality of deformable portions through application of the load to each of the plurality of deformable portions in the radially inward direction such that the plurality of deformable portions contact the non-threaded outer peripheral portion.
