DISASSEMBLY
GENERAL
Remove road dirt and grease from the exterior of the
compressor with a cleaning solvent. Before the compressor
is disassembled, the following items should be marked to
show their relationship when the compressor is assembled.
Mark both the front and rear end cover in relation to the
crankcase. Mark the drive end of the crankshaft in relation
to the front end cover and the crankcase. Mark the cylinder
head in relation to the block and the block in relation to the
crankcase. Mark the base plate or base adapter in relation
to the crankcase.
A convenient method to indicate the above relationship is to
use a metal scribe to mark the parts with numbers or lines.
Do not use a marking method that can be wiped off or
obliterated during rebuilding, such as chalk. Remove all
compressor attachments such as governors, air strainers
or inlet fittings, discharge fittings and pipe plugs.
CYLINDER HEAD
Remove the six cylinder head cap screws (1) and tap the
head with a soft mallet to break the gasket seal. Remove
the inlet valve springs (2) and spring inserts (35) from the
head and inlet valves (3) from their guides in the block.
leakage is excessive, it is recommended that it be returned
to the nearest authorized Bendix Distributor for a factory
remanufactured compressor. If this is not possible, the
compressor can be repaired using genuine Bendix
replacement parts, in which case, the following information
should prove helpful.
REMOVING AND DISASSEMBLY
REMOVING
These instructions are general and are intended to be a
guide, in some cases additional preparations and precautions
are necessary. Chock the wheels of the vehicle and drain
the air pressure from all the reservoirs in the system. Drain
the engine cooling system and the cylinder head of the
compressor. Disconnect all air, water and oil lines leading
to and from the compressor. Remove the drive gear(s) or
pulley from the compressor crankshaft using a gear puller.
Inspect the pulley or gear and associated parts for visible
wear or damage. Since these parts are precision fitted, they
must be replaced if they are worn or damaged.
