7.  For air-to-extend configurations, slowly loosen and remove the 

actuator stem locknut and piston. (Remove the piston and stem 
locknut together, making sure the piston does not bind on the 
actuator stem.) Next, remove the spring button, spring and stem 
spacer.

WARNING: To avoid personal injury, be certain the spring 
force is completely relieved before removing actuator 
stem locknut.

8.   Remove the piston quad-seal, piston stem O-ring and yoke O-ring.

9.  Remove the actuator stem O-ring.

NOTE:

 The stem bushing is pressed into the yoke. The actuator 

stem O-ring can be replaced without removing the bushing.

10.  Use an appropriately sized press to push a worn or damaged 

bushing out of the yoke.
