13. Remove the high-pressure tie rods.
If a tie rod is tight, use two nuts tight
-
ened back-to- back on the thread of
the tie rod and loosen with an
open-ended wrench.
CAUTION
Do not use a pipe wrench—it will mark the
tie rod and cause premature tie rod failure.
14. Use the ratchet handle and torque
multiplier (as shown here) to loosen
the tie rod nuts at one end of the
low-pressure cylinder assembly.
Loosen the nuts in the figure-8 pat-
tern shown below, turning each nut
no more than ¼ turn at a time, re-
peating the sequence until nuts are
loose. This will avoid overloading of
the tie rods or nuts. Remove the tie
rods, nuts, and washers and set aside.
15. Remove the cap screw(s) that hold
one end bell to the intensifier assem
-
bly fixture. Using a mallet, tap the end
bell free of the cylinder. Remove the
end bell and set it aside.
