plunger in the depressed position so that you can access
and remove the e-clip from the plunger shaft (see

remove the e-clip from the groove in the end of the
plunger shaft (see

to re-extend within the mounting recess (see

Grasp the exposed end of the plunger within the
mounting recess and withdraw the plunger rod from
the bore of the stationary inner barrel of the locking
screw (see
