How to disassemble an actuator safely.
Remove the indicator assembly (25) from the top of the actuator.
Remove both travel stop bolts (21), after slackening the lock nuts (23).
Verify that the end caps are for Double-Acting actuator (flat), and loosen end
cap fixing screws evenly (22).
Remove the end caps (4).
Using a suitable wrench in the top of the pinion shaft (2), turn the shaft counter
clockwise to drive the pistons apart. Remove the pistons (3) complete with back-
ing pads/O-rings, etc.
