Î Use proper tools to disassemble the spring clip.
Î In case of spiral spring clip (18) refer to the disassembly
and reassembly instructions available from AIR TORQUE.
− Remove the spring clip (18) by means of snap-ring pliers
or a screwdriver for spiral rings.
− Remove the thrust washer (10) and the external thrust bea-
ring (08).
− Apply downward force to the top of the drive shaft
(60/60.1), until it is partially out of the bottom of the body
and remove the internal thrust bearing (08) and the oc-
ti-cam (01).
− Push the drive shaft (60) completely out of the body.
If needed, gently tap the top of the drive shaft (60) with a
