Reassembly and Reinstallation
(Fig. 21 and 25)
Hydraulic Fittings:
NOTICE
If removed, reinstall the
couplings (B1 and B3) and adapter (B2)
before installing the swivel (B) on the
swivel post (F). Use a vise with soft jaws to
hold the swivel as couplings and adapter
are installed.
• Apply Loctite 577 sealant to threads on
female coupling (B3) and adapter (B2).
See (✜) in Figure 25 for locations.
• Tighten the couplings (B1 and B3) and
adapter (B2) by hand, until they are each
finger tight. Then, wrench tighten these
parts an additional 2 to 3 turns beyond
finger tight.
NOTICE
To allow the sealant sufficient
time to cure, wait a minimum period of 3
hours at 68 to 104°F [20 to 40°C], or 6
hours at 40 to 68°F [5 to 20°C] before
pressurizing the wrench.
Swivel Post:
• Apply a small amount of Loctite 243
thread sealant to the threaded mounting
holes in the wrench housing. See (✜) in
Figure 21 for locations.
• Apply Loctite 243 thread sealant to the
threads of the piston locknut (H21).
Install the locknut by hand, making sure
that it has engaged the threads of the
piston rod (H12).
• Using an appropriate socket spanner,
tighten the piston locknut (H21) to the
proper torque for your wrench model:

• Install new O-ring (H22) in groove on
cylinder gland (H23).
• Screw the cylinder gland (H23) into the
wrench housing (H2) by hand, making
sure that the O-ring (H22) is not pinched
or cut.
• Using an appropriate pin spanner, install
and tighten the cylinder gland (H23). Tap
the pin spanner with a suitable mallet
to ensure that cylinder gland (H23) is
securely installed.
• Reassemble the ratchet, ratchet lever
and related components in the reverse
order of disassembly. Refer to Section
5.2.
• If removed, reinstall the hydraulic swivel
and swivel post. Refer to Section 5.3.7.
• Perform hydraulic pressure testing before
placing the wrench into service. Refer to
the procedure in Section 5.3.8.
