Do not wipe them dry with a cloth or paper as lint and
dirt may remain.

(deep scratches, out-of-round, etc.). Inspect head
(Item 3), shaft (Item 4) and piston (Item 8) for evidence
of excessive scoring, pitting, or wear. Replace any
defective parts.
10. Use new seals (Items 1–2, 7, 9–11, 13) when
reassembling. Put a light coating of hydraulic oil on all
new seals and back-up washers. Install the new seals
and back-up washers. Install head (Item 3) onto shaft
(Item 4). Install piston (Item 8) onto shaft and tighten
lock nut (Item 5).
11. Put a light coating of hydraulic oil on all cylinder parts
to ease assembly. Slide shaft assembly and head into
