b. For disc sizes “K” through “T”, reassemble the Disc
using a new O-Ring, O-Ring Retainer, and new Lock
Screws. Refer to Table 10 for the proper torque.
(i) Prior to assembly of the Disc into the Disc Holder,
remove the Disc Retainer from the back of the
Disc. Use 1000 grit grinding compound on the
bearing surface to grind the Disc into the Disc
Holder to properly establish the bearing surface.
(ii) Place the Disc Retainer into the groove in the disc.
The Disc with the Disc Retainer should “snap” into
the Disc Holder pocket with moderate finger or
hand force. Do not use excessive force to assemble
these parts. Be sure that the Disc is free to
“wobble” after it is in place.
3. Set the Disc Holder (disc side down), on the work surface.
Place a small amount of 1000 grit grinding compound
onto the ball end of the Main Valve Piston and place it
in the disc holder pocket. Turn the Main Valve Piston
clockwise, and then counter clockwise, to seat the Main
Valve Piston. Clean all grinding compound from parts.
4. Place the Spring down onto the Disc Holder.
5. Place the Guide over the Disc Holder. (DO NOT DROP.) If
Bellows is present, the weight of the Guide will slightly
compress the Bellows.
6. Place the Guide Gasket in the Base.
7. Install disc guide assembly. Use the same lifting tool (see
