Valve Body
DISASSEMBLYPosition the valve body on a clean work surface to avoid contamination.
Fig. 90:
CAUTION: Do not clamp any part of the valve body assembly (Fig. 90) in a vise. This practice will distort the valve body and transfer plate resulting in valve bind. Slide valves and plugs out carefully. Do not use force at any time. The valves and valve body will be damaged if force is used. Also tag or mark the valve body springs for reference as they are removed. Do not allow them to become intermixed.
1. Remove screws attaching adjusting screw bracket to valve body and transfer plate. Hold bracket firmly against spring force while removing last screw.

ASSEMBLY
Clean and inspect all valve body components for damage or wear. Refer to Cleaning and Inspection for proper procedure.
CAUTION: Do not force valves or plugs into place during reassembly. If the valve body bores, valves, and plugs are free of distortion or burrs, the valve body components should all slide into place easily. In addition, do not overtighten the transfer plate and valve body screws during reassembly. Overtightening can distort the valve body resulting in valve sticking, cross leakage and unsatisfactory operation. Tighten valve body screws to recommended torque only.
