If gland (16) has a plug (12) go to step p below. If gland (16) and
cylinder tube
(24) use screw (1) go to step q. If same gland is
installed that was removed or if a new gland is installed go to step r.
Install gland (16) into cylinder tube until gland comes in contact with cylin-
der tube. Using spanner wrench, tighten gland to 200 to 300 lb-ft.
Tighten gland (16) to 100 to 200 lb-ft. Each half of hole for screw (1) must
be alined. Install screw (1). If each half of hole is alined before 100 lb-ft
torque, drill a new hole half in gland and half in tube. Use number 26 drill
bit and drill 5/16 inch deep. Don’t drill hole in same position as a hole for
spanner wrench. Install screw (1).
