Carefully remove worn seals and O-rings from cartridge by pushing them with a
dowel or similar object. Remove seals positioned close to the open ends first,
working toward the interior. Examine seals for unusual wear, deformation or cuts.
Note any unusual buildups of solid material or debris causing possible leak paths.
Examine the cartridge body (1) surfaces for scratches, signs of metal-to-metal
contact, deformation or other unusual wear.
