Step 3
Remove Thrust Housing Cap
Use a 6mm Allen wrench and a cross pattern to remove the 6 Allen head bolts that secure the thrust
housing cap to the thrust housing. Make sure to leave each bolt loose and turned 3 threads in as
shown in gure 5. The loosened bolts will allow the cap to be removed and prevent the possibility of
the cap falling once it is free from the thrust housing.
Use the two medium sized, at head screwdrivers
and insert them into the slots at each side of the
base of the thrust housing cap. Slowly and carefully
twist the screwdrivers to work the cap evenly o
the thrust housing until it is free. Figure 5.
Note that the O-ring seal in the thrust housing cap
will provide some resistance until it is clear of the
thrust housing. The cap will tend to “pop” slightly
when the O-ring clears the base.
Once the thrust housing cap is free, remove the
Allen bolts and the cap.
Inspect the cap and O-ring seal for damage. Re-
place O-ring if necessary and place the cap as-
sembly in a safe, clean location. Figure 6.
Figure 5: Use two medium at head screwdrivers to remove the thrust housing cap. Note that the bolts are loose and left
in place to prevent thrust housing cap from falling and being damaged during removal.

and the slots for the screwdrivers. Make sure the
cap and O-ring is in good condition and clean.
