26. Remove pistons (44) and slipper retainer (45) from cylin-
der block (46).
Pistons are not selectively fitted, however units with
high hourly usage may develop wear patterns. Number
pistons and bores for reassembly if they are to be reused.
27. Remove ball guide (47), hold-down pins (48), and retain-
ing ring (49) from cylinder block.
NOTE: Most repairs do not require block spring removal. Perform
this procedure only if you suspect block spring problems.
RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY: COMPRESSING BLOCK SPRING REQUIRES FORCE
OF ABOUT 80 TO 90 LBF (350 TO 400 N). USE A PRESS SUFFICIENT TO MAIN-
TAIN THIS FORCE WITH REASONABLE EFFORT. ENSURE SPRING IS SECURE
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE SPIRAL RETAINING RING. RELEASE PRES-
SURE SLOWLY AFTER RETAINING RING IS REMOVED.
28. Turn block over. Using a press, apply pressure on block
spring washer (50) to compress the block spring. Com-
press spring enough to safely remove the spiral retain-
ing ring (51). While maintaining pressure, unwind the
spiral retaining ring (51). Carefully release pressure and
remove outer block spring washer (50), block spring (52),
and inner block spring washer (53) from cylinder block.
Inspection
After disassembly, wash all parts (including end-cap and hous-
ing) thoroughly with clean solvent and allow to air dry. Blow
out oil passages in housing and endcap with compressed air.
Conduct inspection in a clean area and keep all parts free from
contamination. Clean and dry parts again after any rework or
resurfacing.
PISTON
Inspect pistons for damage and discoloration. Discolored pis-
tons may indicate excessive heat; do not reuse.
SLIPPERS
Inspect slipper running surfaces. Replace piston assemblies
with scored or excessively rounded slipper edges. Measure
slipper foot thickness. Replace piston assemblies with exces-
sively worn slippers. Check slipper axial end-play. Replace pis-
ton assemblies with excessive end-play.
Minimum slipper foot thickness and maximum axial end-play
are given in table below.
