Reassembly of the Cylinder
Step 1: Use the hub of the drive pulley, a stack of 5/8" flat washers and a 3" long 5/8" bolt to pull the
cylinder shaft through the bearings. After the 3" bolt a 2" long bolt will be required to finish pulling the
cylinder shaft through.
Step 2: Remove the 1/2" bolt and nut from the top of the outer tub clamping band.
Step 3: Install Dexter Tool part # 8545-056-001 on the back of the outer tub to adjust tub front to cylinder
clearance. Thread 5/8" bolt through tool and into cylinder shaft. Push the outer tub forward 1/4" to
1/2" with tool 8545-056-001 by tightening the 5/8" bolt. This will ease the installation of the outer tub
front.

properly seat the tub front into the outer tub.
Step 6C: Install tub front gasket around outer edge of tub front and outer tub flange. The opening should be
centered at the top.
Step 6D: Remove vise grips. The tub front gasket will hold the tub front in place.
Step 7: Install tub front clamp ring and tighten. Tap around the clamp ring with a rubber mallet to seat the
ring and gasket while tightening the clamp ring bolt.
Step 8: Adjust clearance between the outer tub front and the front lip of the cylinder to 5/16".
Step 9: Tighten the outer tub clamping band.
Step 10: If necessary, the outer tub may be adjusted up or down and side to side with the 2 bolts that fasten
the bottom of the outer tub clamping band to the frame.
