Disassembly (Power Cylinder)
- Scribe a line across front and rear housings to aid in reassembly. Remove master cylinder if not done during removal. Remove front housing seal and master cylinder piston push rod. Attach unit to a suitable holding and separating fixture (J-22805 or J-23456). Separate housings using a suitable spanner wrench (J-9504).NOTE: On tilt bracket mounting, use spanner wrench with suitable adapter (J-22893).

If defective, remove check valve and grommet. Remove front housing seal. If equipped, remove push rod clevis and lock nut, from rear housing.
