Step 5
: The cylinder is now completely disconnected from the EPT frame; remove the disconnected cylinder.
To install a new cylinder: perform steps 1 through 4 in reverse order with the replacement cylinder.
To repair the cylinder: follow the remaining steps.
Step 6
: Separate the piston rod from the barrel. To loosen the rod, immobilize the cylinder in a vise and use a flat
punch and a hammer to tap the cylinder head in a counterclockwise direction (see Photos 10 & 11). Once the
cylinder head loosens, you should be able to rotate it by hand to withdraw it from the barrel (see Photo 12).
Step 7: With a small screwdriver, remove the Seal and the O-Ring from the piston, both of which are identified in
Photo 13.
