1 Install a new support washer and a new wavy washer on the spring
shaft so that the support washer is closest to the spring perch.
Install the base plate assembly onto the spring shaft so that the
small top out spring is oriented toward the spring perch.
Firmly push the spring shaft assembly into the bottom of the
2
upper tube until the retaining ring groove is visible.
Place the tips of large internal snap ring pliers into the eyelets of
3
the retaining ring and install the retaining ring into the groove.
Check that the retaining ring is properly seated in the retaining
ring groove by using the snap ring pliers to rotate the retaining
ring and seal head back and forth a few times, then firmly pull
down on the spring shaft.
Retaining rings have a sharper-edged side and a rounder-edged
side. Installing retaining rings with the sharper-edged side facing
the tool will allow for easier installation and removal.
