protect it.
8) Use a screw driver to pry the oil seal out.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to scratch the inner surface of
the casing.
D: ASSEMBLY
1) Caution during reassembly
(1) When removing O–rings, oil seals and snap
rings, always replace with new parts.
(2) Thoroughly wash the parts and allow to dry.
Make sure the parts do not come into contact
with cleaning oil or dust.
(3) The reassembly must be performed in a
clean place. Make sure lint or other foreign ob-
jects do not stick to parts.
(4) Cleaning oil tends to remain inside the front
casing. Use compressed air to completely clean
out any remaining cleaning oil.
(5) Make sure the parts are not rusted. Once
the parts are washed and dried, use a specified
hydraulic oil to prevent rust.
(6) Reassemble in the reverse order of removal.
