-- Push :VAS5161/8  into guide plate.

-- Engage the :VAS5161/2  at the engaging device and press the installation cartridge downward.

-- At the same time, rotate the cartridge knurled screw right until points engage in valve retainers.

-- Release the pressure fork.

-- Remove the cartridge.

-- Unfasten guide plate and turn it aside.

• Pressurized air hose remains connected.

-- Remove the valve spring and the valve spring plate.
