3. Pull off the protection sleeve (339).
4. Lubricate the threats and disassemble the hexagon
bolts (336), plain washers (337) and hexagon nuts
(351) counterclockwise.
5. Lift off the diaphragm casing (202 - 389).
6. Fix the stem (211) with the stem clamping tool against
twisting.
WARNING
Risk of injury by jump-
ing out parts ! Pre-loaded
springs inside.
