accumulator. If the washer is not properly located,
the parts will be damaged. If the entire accumulator
assembly is removed, proceed to step 14. If the
accumulator cylinder (22) remains in the accumula-
tor housing, it can be removed using the following
procedures.
a. If the entire accumulator assembly was re-
moved, skip this step and proceed to step 14.
Assemble the Stanley special accumulator
cylinder puller tool (p/n 05640) to a slide
hammer containing a 1/2 inch diameter shank.
Insert the puller tool into the bottom of the
accumulator cylinder so that it seats on the
inside lower contour of the cylinder. Hammer
the cylinder out of the accumulator housing.
14. Remove the tube connector (102) by pulling it out of
the accumulator chamber.
15. To remove the accumulator chamber and
diaphragem (23) from the accumulator cylinder,
place the accumulator assembly on Stanley special
disassembly tools (p/n 05508 ring and p/n 04910
tube). Place a rag in the bottom of the tube to protect
the accumulator chamber when it is removed. Drive
the chamber and diaphragm out of the cylinder by
tapping on the charge valve end of the chamber with
a maller or pushing on it with an arbor press.
16. Squeeze the accumulator diaphragm and slide it off
the charge valve end of the accumulator chamber.
17. Remove the cup seal (26) and back-up washer (25)
from the accumulator chamber.
18. Remove the air tube (1) (or water tube if applicable).
ACCUMULATOR RE-ASSEMBLY
1. Apply grease and install a new o-ring (100) into the
groove on the accumulator chamber. NOTE: This o-
ring was only used on early models. It was elimi-
nated on later models.
2. Apply a light coating of WD-40™ to the accumula-
tor diaphragm (23) and accumulator chamber (24).
Slide the accumulator diaphragm onto the accumula-
tor chamber from the tube connector (102) end.
3. Use grease or rubber lubricant on the inside of the
accumulator cylinder (22) and the outside diameter
of the diaphragm. Push the accumulator chamber
and diaphragm, tube connector end first, halfway
into the accumulator cylinder. Be sure the accumula-
tor diaphragm is free of wrinkles and the seal beads
13
are seated correctly to the accumulator chamber
before completing the assembly. Use an arbor press
to completely seat the assembly using short move-
ments during the last 1/2 inch/12 mm of travel to
gently seat the diaphragm.
4. Apply grease and install a new o-ring (21) into the
groove on the accumulator cylinder.
5. Apply grease and install the back-up washer (25)
and a new cup seal (26) (lips facing out) in the
accumulator chamber counterbore.
6. Apply grease and install new o-rings (101) into the
grooves on the tube connector. Install the tube
connector into the accumulator chamber.
FLOW SLEEVE, PISTON, & AUTOMATIC
VALVE RE-ASSEMBLY
The best way to assemble the flow sleeve (31), auto-
matic valve body (56) and piston (29) is by using an
assembly fixture such as that shown in figure 1. The
fixture permits the parts to be stacked vertically during
the assembly process. After the parts are stacked, the
handle assembly can then be placed on top of the
stacked parts and tapped into place.
The assembly fixture shown in figure 1 should be
constructed of aluminum or brass and should be at least
3-1/2 in/88 mm high but no more than 8 in/203 mm
high.
Figure 1.
1. Lubricate the flow sleeve with clean hydraulic fluid
and install it into the flow sleeve tube (30). The flow
sleeve has a wide groove around the outside of one
end. Install this end first. Then place the flow sleeve
tube and flow sleeve on top of the assembly fixture
shown in figure 1.
