- The flexible rotating head of the assembly cartridge must be positioned almost on the assembly cartridge.
- If this is not the case, the valve key mounting will not be positioned over the valve stem and it will not be possible to fit the valve keys.
- Remove valve keys using pressure fork VAS 5161/2, engaging lock VAS 5161/5
and assembly cartridge AS VAS 5161/8
.
- 5.1 Press valve springs together by pressing the pressure forks.
- 5.2 Loosen valve keys from the valve stem by turning and pressing the rotary head -1- on the assembly cartridge.
- 5.3 Pull rotary head up and slowly guide pressure fork upwards. This should secure the valve keys in the assembly cartridge.
Removing/fitting valve keys
- If the valve keys are not in the cartridge, repeat Step 6
