Section 3: Actuator Reassembly
Actuator Reassembly
3.4.4
Install piston rod (3 - 40) through inner end cap (3 - 10).
NOTE:
The piston rod end with retainer grooves to be on the outboard side of inner end cap (3 - 10).
NOTE:
Piston will be torque tighten when installed into the drive module refer to Section 5,
step 5.2.5.
3.4.5
Apply lubricant to two sets of rod T-seal components (4 - 50).
NOTE:
The T-seal is composed of one rubber seal and two split skive-cut back-up rings.
3.4.5.1
Install two sets of rod T-seals (4 - 50) into the internal diameter seal
grooves of piston (3 - 30).
3.4.5.2
Install a back-up ring on each side of the T-seal.
3.4.5.3
When installing the back-up rings, do not align the skive-cuts.
3.4.5.4
If the back-up rings are too long and the rings overlap beyond the
skive- cuts, then the rings must be trimmed with a razor-sharp instrument.
3.4.6
Coat one D-ring seal (4 - 60) with lubricant and install into the piston external
seal groove.
NOTE:
The flat side of the D-ring seal goes down into the seal groove.
3.4.7
Install piston (3 - 30) onto piston rod (3 - 40).
NOTE:
The cast rib side of the piston is to be facing away from the outboard side of inner end cap
(3 - 10) or position piston (3 - 30) on the piston rod so that the retainer grooves are on the
outboard side of the piston.
3.4.8
Refer to assembly drawing page 2 of 2 Detail "D". Install O-ring seal (4 - 70) into the
seal groove in the outboard end of piston rod (3 - 40).
3.4.9
Install two split ring halves (3 - 50) into the outer most groove in piston rod (3 - 40)
and retain by installing the recessed area of piston (3 - 30) over the two split
halves (3 - 50).
