Replacing Only Old Stem 
 
A. Removing Old Pin and Stem from the 
Plug 
1. Place the plug shank on a V-block, and 
using a drift punch, drive out the old pin. 
Note: If it is necessary to drill out the pin, a 
drill bit somewhat smaller than the pin 
should be used and the remainder of the pin 
driven out. 
 
2. Hold the plug shank in a vise, (see 
bordered note in the paragraph A on previous 
page). 
 
3. Lock one nut against another one to the 
end of the plug stem and, using a wrench on 
the lower nut, unscrew the stem from the 
plug. The stem is removed by turning it anti-
clockwise. 
Note: In case of great sizes and/or high 
temperature service and some other cases, 
the plug stem has a shoulder which allows to 
unscrew plug stem without using of the two 
nuts, (see Table 3 for the required 
Wrench sizes). 
 
B. Screwing Stem to Plug 
Refer to paragraph B of the above section 
“REPLACING PLUG AND STEM”. 
C. Drilling the New Stem 
Place the plug shank on a V-block and, using 
a suitable size drill bit, drill the stem using 
the hole in the plug as a guide. 
 
Note: If the hole in the plug shank has been 
slightly damaged while removing of the old 
pin, choose a drill bit and a pin with a 
diameter somewhat larger than the normal 
Pin. 
D. Pinning 
Select the correct size pin according to plug 
shank diameter and pin hole diameter, (see 
Figure 5). Proceed as described in the above 
paragraph D2, taking care not to damage the 
plug shank area. 
 
 
Ensure plug stem alignment as indicated in 
the above paragraph D3.
