DISASSEMBLY
CAUTION: Do not clamp any valve body component in a vise. This practice can damage the component
resulting in unsatisfactory operation after assembly and installation.Do not use pliers to remove any of the
valves, plugs or springs and do not force any of the components out or into place. The valves and valve
body housings will be damaged if force is used. Tag or mark the valve body springs for reference as they
are removed. Do not allow them to become intermixed.
