4. Slide the fluid section forward to remove it from the gear
housing.
5. Place the fluid section cylinder upright in a vise by clamping
on the wrench flats (Fig. 17, Item 1).
Do not over-tighten the vise. Damage to the
cylinder may occur.
Attention
6. Turn the upper housing (2) counterclockwise to loosen it
from the cylinder (3).
7. Slowly pull down the upper housing (2) just far enough to
expose the extension slider (4) and the connecting pin (5)
that connects the piston rod (6) to the extension slider (4).
8. Push the connecting pin out of the extension slider and
piston rod and remove the piston rod and upper housing.
9. Place the upper housing upright in a vise by clamping on
the wrench flats (7).
Do not over-tighten the vise. Damage to the
upper housing may occur.
