No. 6 Sealant beneath the flange of the cylinder head (4).
(d) Insert the tube of the metering assembly through the opening in the top of the housing and
into the orifice. Use caution not to cut or dislodge the “O” ring slot in the orifice.
(e) Secure the metering tube assembly with bolts and safety with MS20995-C32 wire.

(a) Assemble the head assembly by first placing an “O” ring (6) over the threaded stud of the
orifice plate (8) and the head (4). Turn the plate and head on the orifice tube (7).
(b) Lubricate with hydraulic fluid (MIL-PRF-5606) and install an “O” ring in the provided
slot of the orifice plate and head.
(c) Insert the head assembly into the top of the housing and secure with cap bolts. Safety
bolts with MS20995-C32 wire.
b. Assemble the components of the piston tube (18) on the tube by placing, in order, the retainer ring
(17), spacer ring (16) and scraper ring (15). Insert an “O” ring (14) into the annular slot in the
bottom of the housing.
c. Lubricate the wall of the piston and carefully insert it into the housing being careful not to damage
or dislocate the “O” ring in the housing.
d. Ascertain that the bushings are installed in the upper and lower torque links and then install links.
NOTE: Links should be loose enough to allow free action of the gear, but also resist side play. To
eliminate side play shim washers 63311-03 (.005) may be used as required. Maximum side
play .005/.007.
At cable end of each link, install with the use of brake line bracket, bearing washers, bolt, washer, nut
and cotter pin. Do not over-tighten causing binding or damage to the link. At the connection point of the
upper and lower links, attach with the use of brake line brackets, spacer washers, grease bolt, washers,
nut and cotter pins. Install washers (AN960-816L) under the head of the bolt to allow a firm sliding fit
between the two links.
