3. Use the 9/64" hex driver to remove the three end cap screws with PEEK
washers (some models have slotted head screws instead of hex head).
4. Place the actuator on a hard work surface with the end cap screw holes
up. Push down on the cylinder and the female end cap pops up.
5. While holding the cylinder and the rest of the assembly together, pull
the female end cap all the way off. If the bearing and washers fall out,
set them aside.
6. Repeat the procedure with the actuator inverted, so that the cylinder
slides loose from the male end cap. Remove the cylinder.
Figure B–7. Steps 7–8
7. Pull the subassembly off the male end cap as indicated in Figure B–7.
Note Recently purchased actuators may have a subassembly made primarily of
molded plastic, differing in appearance from the one shown in previous figures.
The procedures are the same for either type. ▲
8. Loosen but do not remove the three slotted head screws that hold the
subassembly together.
