Lubricate and install the Adaptor O-ring (44).
Lubricate the piston rod O-ring (41) and install in the groove
on the piston rod.
Grease and slip in the Split Collars on the Piston Rod lower
groove and slide in the Piston Rod (hex side) through the
Piston till the split collars locate in the counter bore in the
piston.
Install the Split Collars on the upper groove similarly and
secure it by the Spiral Retainer Ring.
Lubricate the Piston Rod and carefully slide in the Piston
Assembly through the Rod Seal and Guide Bushing in the
