Pull the DART SVP source housing all of the way back from the mass spectrometer inlet and 
remove the ceramic tube from the VAPUR interface.  Supporting the rail assembly carefully, 
place the cradle back into the space between the MS interface and DART, with the three screws 
on the far side of the MS.
