7.9.2 REACH CYLINDER DISMANTLING
- Place the cylinder in a soft jaw vice.
- Measure the effective length of the rod end (4) to assist in re-assembly.
- Release locknut (5) and remove the rod end (4).
- Remove silicone sealant from the locking wire aperture.
- Using a 'C' spanner or suitable grips, turn the guide (10) anticlockwise to extract the locking wire.
- With the locking wire removed, extract the guide (10) from the cylinder (9).
CAUTION: It is recommended, that unless absolutely necessary, the shaft (6) is NOT
removed from the cylinder (9). Removing the shaft completely could damage the locking
wire groove in the cylinder and render the unit unservicable.

7.9.3 REACH CYLINDER REASSEMBLY
- To re-assemble the reach cylinder, reverse the dismantling procedure, using new seals and locking wire
from the seal kit.

in the cylinder (9). Insert the bent end of the locking wire into the hole, and using a 'C' spanner or suitable
grips, turn the guide (10) clockwise to draw the wire into place. Reseal aperture with silicone sealant.
