and rod collar locating bands, and collar face in contact with the piston, then<br />
slide collar onto rod.<br />
6. Apply a thin coating of “Never-Seez”, Regular Grade to piston rod threads at the<br />
piston end, then slide piston in place onto rod and collar. For two-piece pistons,<br />
install a new o-ring between the piston halves.<br />
NOTE: ONE END OF SINGLE PIECE PISTONS IS MACHINED 0.002 INCHES (0.05 mm)<br />
UNDERSIZE ACROSS A 3/4 INCH (20 mm) WIDE BAND FOR MANUFACTUR-<br />
ING PURPOSES. IF THE PISTON IS SYMMETRICAL AND CAN BE INSTALLED<br />
IN EITHER DIRECTION, ASSEMBLE WITH THE UNDERSIZE BAND TOWARD<br />
THE HEAD END.<br />
7. Apply a thin coating of “Never-Seez”, Regular Grade to the piston nut threads<br />
and piston mating face. Install nut and hand tighten.<br />
8. Put the separately purchased torquing tool in place, with the two dowel drive<br />
pins placed into the holes in the piston rod nut (see Figure 5-26 on Page 5-39).<br />
Turn the tool-puller-bolt into the threaded hole in the end for the piston rod.<br />
Tighten the puller-bolt by hand until torquing tool is tight against the piston rod<br />
assembly.<br />
CAUTION! TIGHTEN A MINIMUM OF 14 TURNS TO PREVENT PISTON ROD TO<br />
PULLER-BOLT THREAD FAILURE. SUCH FAILURES CAN RESULT IN PER-<br />
SONAL INJURY. TOOL MUST BE PROPERLY CONFIGURED.<br />
9. Then back off the tool puller-bolt 1/4 turn. Note that the puller-bolt is provided<br />
with a hex drive, to assist in tightening or loosening the puller-bolt, if necessary.<br />
A hydraulic pressure of 8,700 psig (600 barg ) is to be applied to the torquing tool<br />
to stretch the piston rod. A separately purchased hand pump is recommended.<br />
Then 30 lb-ft (41 N·m) of torque is to be applied to the 5/8 inch hex pinion gear<br />
drive. The hydraulic pressure is then released. Re-apply hydraulic pressure and<br />
completely loosen piston nut without disassembling and release hydraulic pressure;<br />
repeat the tensioning/tightening procedure. Repeating the procedure to be<br />
sure that the components are seated properly. The G-12644 torquing tool is also<br />
used and pressurized to disassemble a piston and rod.<br />
!<br />
CAUTION<br />
DO NOT OVERPRESSURE THE HYDRAULIC TORQUING<br />
TOOL. OVERPRESSURE CAN CAUSE THE TORQUING TOOL<br />
TO FAIL AND/OR RESULT IN EXCESSIVE PRE-LOAD OF THE<br />
PISTON ROD. PISTON ROD FAILURE CAN OCCUR DUE TO<br />
EXCESSIVE PRE-LOAD. SUCH FAILURES CAN RESULT IN<br />
PERSONAL INJURY.<br />
