3. Check the split bearing (Figure 24, item B) inside the adapter
by feeling the amount protruding from the adapter wall. If the
bearing is flush with the wall, replace the bearing.

away from the wall of the adapter. A needle-nose pliers can
be used to grip the bearing for removal. Be careful not to
scratch or damage the metal surfaces.

during removal and must be replaced
with a new bearing.

than the inside diameter of the adapter and insert it into the
proper location.

Visually inspect the seating.
7. If necessary, push the actuator stem into the adapter to help
properly seat the bearing.
