Disassembly of Valve
Stems
Disassembly of the valve stems is required for seat ring
replacement. (For ”Reassembly of Valve Stems‚" turn to
page 37.)
NOTE:
(For seat lifting valves) Before disassembly, note the
position of the upper and lower seat lifting adjustment nuts. See
Figure 20 on page 25.
NOTE:
Seals, seal grooves, and contact surfaces are precision
parts and must not be damaged.
1. Lower stem removal: Using an open end wrench, remove the
lower stem (Figure 23, item A) from the actuator by turning it
counter-clockwise.
WARNING
Handle the lower stem with care to prevent bending the inner
stem. A bent inner stem will cause the valve to operate
incorrectly.

2. Upper stem removal: Hold the adjusting sleeve stationary
with a spanner wrench, turn the stem (Figure 24, item B)
counter-clockwise, and remove it from the actuator. If the
adapter (Figure 24, item C) comes out of the yoke, handle it
with care.

and replacement
3. Check the split bearing (Figure 25, item B) inside the adapter
by feeling the amount protruding from the adapter wall. If the
bearing is flush with the wall, replace the bearing.
4. Place a screwdriver or pick behind the bearing and pry it
away from the wall of the adapter. A needle-nose pliers can
be used to grip the bearing for removal. Be careful not to
