Be extremely careful that the parts do not tilt
out of position while being installed. Push
parts gently into place with slight rotating
action; keep pin nearly horizontal. Push the
spool assembly entirely within the housing
bore until the parts are flush at the meter end
or 14-hole end of housing. Do not push the
spool assembly beyond this point to prevent
the cross pin from dropping into the dis-
charge groove of the housing. With the spool
assembly in this flush position, check for free
rotation within the housing by turning with
light finger tip force at the splined end.
12. Place housing on clean, lint free cloth. Install 2-1/8-
inch diameter seal in housing.
13. Install two bearing races and the needle thrust bear-
ing in the order shown.
14. Install 1-1/4-inch diameter dust seal in seal gland
bushing; flat or smooth side of dust seal must face
down towards bushing.
15. Install dry quad ring seal in seal gland bushing.
Smooth seal in place with your finger. Do not use any
seal that falls freely into pocket of bushing. Seal
should not “fall” into place but should require light
force to seat.
