There are two ways to remove cement from the cell. The first way requires a
hydraulic shop press and the cement removal knock out tool (#120-50-074).
The second way is to use the knock out tool and a mallet. A hardened cement
plug can only be pushed out of the cell from the top to the bottom.
Hydraulic Shop Press
a. Secure the cell into the press with the end labeled "TOP" facing up
and the end labeled "BOTTOM" facing down.
b. Insert the knock out tool into the cell on top of the cement.
c. Slowly increase pressure in the press until the cement slides out of
the cell.
Knock Out Tool and Mallet
a.
Tighten the jaws of the vice on the flats of the cell body with the end
labeled "TOP" facing up and the end labeled "BOTTOM" facing down.
b. Insert the knock out tool into the cell on top of the cement.
c. Hit the top of the knock out tool with the mallet until the cement slides
out of the bottom of the cell.
