2. Place the tool and bellows on a firm, flat surface.
3. Push down on the metallic ring using four fingers until the orifice grips the end of the tool
on its own. The tool, which keeps the end of the bellows open, enables the bellows to be
slid back into position.
4. Pull on the metallic ring at the end of the bellows until it can go no further; moderate force
is required. When refitting the bellows, support the piston by the head, not by the shaft.
