CAUTION 

DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE VIBROSCRIBED ON THE PULLER BODY. Excessive 

pressure can damage the stud and puller screw 

 

Note:  Do not over extend the stud.  Over extension can cause the piston to loose its seal and 

leak oil. 

 

Note: 

Before threading the puller screw into the stud, carefully check the cleanliness of both 

the stud's and the puller screw's conical threads. Apply a light coat of clean turbine oil or a 

spray lubricant to the puller screw. Do not use “Never Seize” on the conical threads. This 

procedure will ease assembly and assure positive mating of the threads before tightening.
