. lf it is too high (closer to the valve stem), you
must make a second cut with the 60'cutter to
move it down, then one more cut with the 45'
cutter to restore seat width,
. lf it is too low (closer to the vslve edge), you
must make a second cut with the 30" cutter to
move it uD, then one more cut with the 45'cutter
to restore seat width.
NOTE: The final cut should always be made with
