Loosen and remove hex nut (4-40) from stop screw (4-30) or from ES (4-30).
Remove breather (30) from end cap (4-20).
Remove acorn nut (8-20) and gasket seal (5-60) from center bar assembly (8-10).
Use a ratchet and socket on the welded nut, located on the housing end of center
bar assembly (8-10), rotate center bar assembly (8-10) counter-clockwise (CCW).
This will cause end cap (4-20) to gradually unscrew from center bar assembly (8-10).
Continue to rotate center bar assembly (8-10) counter-clockwise (CCW) until the
spring preload is eliminated. As preload is reduced it may be necessary to keep end
cap (4-20) from turning.
After the spring preload is eliminated, unscrew and remove end cap (4-20) from
center bar assembly (8-10).
Remove spring (4-70) from within spring cylinder (4-10).
Hold torque shaft (1-30) and pull spring cylinder (4-10) away from housing (1-10);
slide spring cylinder over piston (4-50) and remove.
