• 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
• Tighten grub screw fully. Do not over tighten!
