b. Disassembly
1. Remove all dirt and grease from cylinder.
2. Fasten the cylinder in a soft-jawed vise or
other acceptable holding equipment. Do not
damage the tube.
3. If necessary to replace, remove the grease
fittings (14 and 15).

(17) from the tube.
5. Using a pin spanner wrench, unscrew the
gland (8) from the tube.
IMPORTANT: Protect the finish on the rod at
all times. Damage to the surface of the rod can
cause premature seal failure.
6. Pull the rod (11) and attached parts straight
out of the tube.
IMPORTANT: When sliding the rod and piston
assembly in the tube, be careful so that gland
threads in the tube do not damage the piston (4).
Keep the rod in line with the tube barrel to prevent
binding.
7. Remove piston seal (3) from piston (4).
8. Fasten the eye of the rod in a soft-jawed vise
and put a padded support below and near
other end of rod to prevent damage to the rod.
NOTE: It may be necessary to apply heat to
break the bond of the sealant between nut (2) and
rod (11) before the piston can be removed. Refer
to paragraph 9.5.a.
