5. Remove piston (9) from the body (10) and retain for reuse.
6. Remove and discard o-ring (8) from piston (9).
7. Depress and hold the exhaust cover assembly (16) and
remove and discard retaining ring (17) from the valve
body (10).

CLEANING AND INSPECTION
1. Wash all metal parts in mineral spirits and dry them
thoroughly.
(Note: When servicing the R-12DC
and all rubber parts should be replaced.)
2. Inspect all metal parts for deterioration and wear, as
evidenced by scratches, scoring and corrosion.
3. Inspect the exhaust valve seat on the relay piston for
nicks and scratches which could cause excessive
leakage.
4. Inspect the inlet valve seat in the body for scratches
and nicks, which could cause excessive leakage.
5. Inspect the check valve seat in the R-12DC
and make sure all internal air passages in this area are
open and clean and free of nicks and scratches.
6. Replace all parts not considered serviceable during these
inspections and all springs and rubber parts. Use only
genuine Bendix replacement parts, available from any
authorized Bendix parts outlet.
ASSEMBLY
Note: All torque specified in this manual are assembly torque
and can be expected to fall off slightly after assembly. Do
not re-torque after initial assembly torque fall. For assembly,
hand wrenches are recommended.
Prior to assembly, lubricate all o-rings, o-ring bores and any
sliding surface with a silicone lubricant equivalent to Dow
Corning #10.
Wash all remaining parts in mineral spirits and dry thoroughly.
Using the lubricant provided in this kit, lightly lubricate all
o-rings, o-ring grooves, body bores any sliding surfaces.
