Step 8
Install the cylinder sleeve into the
grooves of the compressor body
and line up the holes for the piston
retainer plate. Use two of the new
screws provided to secure the piston
retainer plate (Recommended
Torque: 34-38 in lb). Repeat Step 4
thru 8 for the second cylinder before
moving on to Step 9.
Step 7
Place the retainer plate and and
piston cup on top of the new piston
cylinder sleeve. Flip over to ensure
the piston cup is properly aligned
within the cylinder sleeve.
Step 9
Use a small pick tool to remove
the two o-ring gaskets and two
cylinder gaskets from the bottom
and top of the valve plate.
Step 10
Remove the leaf valves. The leaf
valves are originally installed with
threadlock. We recommend using a
propane torch or other heat source
to soften the threadlock before
removing the screws. Apply heat
for approximately 5-20 seconds and
gently remove the screws (Fig. 1).
Save the screws but discard the leaf
valves (Fig. 2). Repeat this process for
all four leaf valves. NOTE: On the top
leaf valves, also save the valve limiter
as this is needed when reinstalling
the new leaf valves.
