Disassembly
TOOL REQUIRED
-
07NAD-SR3020A Cylinder End Seal Remover Attachment
-
07GAF-PH70100 Pilot Collar
NOTE:
-
Clean the disassembled parts with a solvent, and dry them with compressed air. Do not dip the rubber parts in a solvent.
-
Always replace the Wrings and rubber seals with new ones before assembly.
1. Before removing the valve housing, apply vinyl tape to splines of the pinion shaft.
2. Separate the valve housing from the pinion shaft/valve using a press.
3. Check the inner wall of the valve housing where the seal ring slides with your finger. If there is a step in the wall, the valve housing is worn.
Replace the valve housing.
NOTE:
-
There may be the sliding marks from the seal ring on the wall of the valve housing. Replace the valve housing only if the wall is stepped.
-
When the valve housing is replaced, install new shim(s) on the bearing surface of the housing to adjust the thickness.
