Assembly–
NOTE: Inspect transport actuating bracket and pin
assembly (A) for wear or leakage to outside. If
assembly is in good condition, just set lower
case half aside for final assembly.
1. If wear or leakage is detected, remove e-ring (C),
actuating bracket (D), and pin (F).
2. Remove and discard o-ring (E). Replace it with new
o-ring every time assembly is removed or leaking.
3. Inspect pin (F) and lower case bore (B) for pitting,
scoring, or rust. Replace as necessary.
4. Inspect e-ring (C) and bracket (D) for wear or
deformity. Replace as necessary.

push pin guides (H). Replace as necessary.

shaft splines and hold shop cloth over valve bores
to catch valve bodies.

assemblies (N) from center block (M), then turn
brake disc counterclockwise to force other valve
assembly from center block.
10. If valve assemblies do not dislodge, remove plug
(L) and bleed port connector (K) and try using
compressed air to dislodge valve assemblies.
11. If valve assemblies still remain lodged, depress
check balls with extractor tool(s) to grab onto valve
body and pull them from center block and discard
valve bodies.
12. Check bores, if damaged—replace center block.
