.)
14.1.3 Neutralize all energy sources (electrical, pressure and

14.1.4 Rotate the valve to the closed position.
14.1.5 Remove actuator assembly. (Refer to section

and Remounting
.)
14.1.6 Remove the gland retainer from the stem by dismantling packing
nuts and washers. (Removing the studs is not necessary.)
14.1.7 Remove the post cover from the end post by dismantling post
cover nuts and washers. Carefully insert a screwdriver between
the post cover and the body to remove the post cover and
gasket.
14.1.8 Using a punch and mallet, drive the stem pin and end post pin
into the center of the stem and end post until the outward end of
the pin clears the segment. Be careful not to damage the stem or
end post.
NOTE
: The pins can be removed from the stem and end post by
driving them out of the through-holes with a mallet and punch
once the segment has been removed.
14.1.9 Remove the end post.
NOTE
: Inserting a bolt in the jack screw hole (tapped in the post)
will help in removing the post.
14.1.10 Remove the stem, along with gland ring, stem seal kit, and thrust
washer by pulling out through packing box side.
CAUTION
Take special care to not damage the splined end of stem during
disassembly.

the non-splined end of the segment is toward the downstream
port of the body. Remove the segment straight out of the body.
CAUTION
Be extremely careful not to gall or scratch the sealing surface of
the segment when removing it from body. Scratches may later
cause excessive leakage and seal wear.

housing spaces.
