Gasket Reuse and Applying Sealant

^ Do not reuse any gasket unless specified.
^ Gaskets that can be reused will be identified in the service procedure.
^ Do not apply sealant to any gasket or sealing surface unless specified in the service procedure.

Separating Components

^ Bump the part sideways in order to loosen the components.
^ Bumping of the component should be done at bends or reinforced areas of the component to prevent distortion of the components.
