• Undo both pivot pin screws (T20 940274)

• Remove grub screw (2.5mm)

Cylinder Removal

• Remove top pivot pin sufficiently to release trunnion using alignment pin 940084

• Clamp body at distal end in a vice as shown using soft jaws or clamp block and remove distal pivots using a 5mm Allen key.

• Slide dummy pin sufficiently to remove cylinder

• Do not lose spacers

Cylinder Replacement

• Secure unit in vice (otherwise difficult to get Pivot pin in)

• Lubricate Pivot Pin (STP)• Screw suitable 6mm screw into

Pivot Pin to aid in re insertion (interference fit, will not push in)

• Tap gently into position (sits just below bearing surface on each face)

Cylinder Replacement

• Replace Torx screw (Loctite first) Tighten until Pivot Pin shaft rotates to position “flat” adjacent to grub screw: View thro’ grub screw hole in top trunnion

• Add loctite to grubscrew and replace.Tighten gently against flat and tighten Torx screw to 5Nm

Cylinder Replacement

• Loctite and torque (5Nm) second Torx screw to upper Pivot Pin
