end with a long pipe. Do this carefully because if the nozzle becomes

16. Remove the CT (combining tube) through the head end. If need be, use a
Porta Power and bridging assembly to push out the CT from the discharge end.

17. Inspect the CT and heater body for damage (scratches, dents, wear spots, etc)

the nozzle and CT will touch when reassembled. This step is critical for a
successful reassembly.
