Completely fill in seal groove (M) piston (F) with grease. Install backup ring (J) in the seal groove.Note: Make sure that the seal groove is filled with grease. The grease will force the air out of the assembly when the O-ring seal and the backup ring are installed.
Coat the external diameter of piston (F) and tool (B) with a small amount of grease. Position tool (B) at the bottom end of piston (F) .
Position O-ring seal (K) on tool (B). Use tool (A) and assemble the O-ring seal in the seal groove with the backup ring.Note: Make sure that the position of the O-ring seal and the backup ring is correct. Make sure that new backup rings are installed.
Remove tool (B). Completely fill in seal groove (N) piston (F) with grease. Install backup ring (J) in the seal groove.
Coat the external diameter of piston (F) and tool (C) with a small amount of grease. Position tool (C) at the bottom end of piston (F) .
Position O-ring seal (K) on tool (C). Use tool (A) and assemble the O-ring seal in the seal groove with the backup ring.
Coat the external diameter of piston (F) with a small amount of grease. Make sure that O-ring seal (K) and backup ring (J) are coated with grease. Add grease in the bottom of cylinder (E) .Note: Coating the piston with grease will prevent air from being forced in the interior of the cylinder when the piston is installed.
