DISASSEMBLY OF THE RATCHET LINK
1. Lay the ratchet link at on a workbench with the left side plate (1) downward and using a hex
wrench, unscrew and remove the two lower spacer screws (16). Note: TX-1 ratchet links do not
have Upper Spacers or Lower Spacers.
2. Using a hex wrench, unscrew and remove the two upper spacer screws (15). Note: TX-1 ratchet
links do not have Upper Spacers or Lower Spacers.
3. For series TX-16, TX-32, and TX-45 models: Use a roll pin punch to tap the spacer roll pin (19)
out of the right side plate (2).
4. While applying thumb pressure to the edge of the ratchet (6), carefully lift the side plate off the
assembly.
5. Grasp the ratchet and drive plate (3) and, while maintaining their relationship, lift them both off the
left side plate.
6. Push the ratchet out of the drive plate and remove the drive segment (7) and the segment spring
(14) from the drive plate recess.
7. If the drive pin (4) or drive pin spring (5) must be replaced, use a roll pin punch to push the drive pin
spring roll pin (18) out of the drive plate. Once the pin spring is removed, the drive pin (4) will drop
down to the large opening at the bottom of the slot for easy removal.
8. Lift the lower spacer (10) off the lower spacer pins (11). If the pins must be replaced, use a hex
wrench to remove the two lower spacer screws from the right side plate. Pull the pins out of the
holes on the inner face of the right side plate.
9. For Series TX-2, TX-4, and TX-8 models: Unscrew the two spacer screws and remove the upper
spacer (8) from the right side plate. For Series TX-16, TX-32, TX-45 models: Use a roll pin punch
to remove the spacer roll pin (19) from the right side plate. Unscrew the two spacer screws and
remove the middle spacer (9) and upper spacer (8) from the right side plate.
10. If the side plate sleeves (12) must be replaced, press the sleeves out toward the inner face of the
side plate. Note: TX-1 ratchet links do not have Upper Spacers or Lower Spacers.
Under normal circumstances, the seal plate will not need to be
removed for maintenance.
When the ratchet is removed from the drive plate, the drive segment
and segment spring will be free to fall from the drive plate recess. Do
not allow the drive segment to fall on a hard surface that might chip the
teeth.
8. Reclamp the housing in the vice so that the cylinder gland (20) is visible.
9. Use the gland removal tool (41) to unscrew the cylinder gland (20) from the housing.
10. Place the slider pin in the piston rod over a clearance opening in a soft block. Use a small drift to
tap the pin out of the sliders and piston rod.
