Using a 5mm Allen wrench, remove the four (4) M6-1.0 x35 cap screws and lockwashers to separate pump head frompiston housing.
To disassemble pump head:
1. Remove the three (3) water seals. Seals should slide outby hand.
2. Remove the three (3) inlet check valves. A 5/16”-18bottoming tap may be used to remove these valves. DONOT use a screwdriver as it will damage valve and head!
3. Remove the O-Ring from the high pressure transfer boss.
4. Remove the three (3) M8-1.5 outlet check valve caps andO-Rings.
5. Remove the three (3) outlet check valves and O-Rings.
6. Do not attempt to remove the pipe plug (item 7). It isinstalled with a thread-locking compound and is notmeant to be removed.
Piston & Unloader Housing Removal
Refer to Figure 5.4 for this procedure.
Before disassembling the piston and unloader assembly, dothe following:

Each of the three (3) pump pistons pass through an oil sealin the piston and unloader housing. Note the oil seal andpilot spacer illustrated in Figure 5.11. The oil seal lip will facetowards the piston spring and retainer to retain the pumpoil.
Inspect the three (3) piston springs. Replace any spring thatis damaged or broken.
Engine Adapter, Pump Head, and Piston & UnloaderHousing
Clean all parts. Inspect carefully for cracks, damage, and soforth. Check for corrosion. Replace any damaged, defective,or corroded part as necessary.
Axial Cam Drive Components
Referring to Figure 5.12, carefully inspect the engine adapterbearing and the axial cam bearing assemblies for wear,damage, and freedom of rotation. Replace any damaged ordefective bearing assembly.
Inspect the retainer washer and the thrust washer. Replaceif damaged.
Inspect the axial cam. Replace if worn excessively ordamaged.
