Disassembly
1. Remove and discard the "O" ring in the shaft cap end
of the valve assembly.
2. To remove the lower shaft assembly from the valve
body, proceed as follows:
a. While holding the assembly (stub shaft down), lightly
tap the stub shaft against the bench until the shaft cap is free
from the valve body (fig. 3B-45).
b. Pull the shaft assembly out of the spool valve until
the shaft cap clears the valve body approximately 1/4".
CAUTION: Do not pull the shaft assembly out too
far or the spool valve may become cocked in the
valve body.
c. Carefully disengage the shaft pin from the valve spool
and remove the shaft assembly (fig. 3B-45).
