done!
The control cylinder is complete! This is what I did.
1.) Removed snap ring with snap ring pliers.
2.) Removed the brass washer. It would not 'fall out', so I drilled a small hole in the washer. I inserted a small wood screw into the hole, then pulled the washer out.
3.) Removed a rubber (or felt) washer. I used a long pin to get this out.
4.) Removed another washer. The outer diameter was a little smaller than the inside chamber, so it came out easily.
5.) Removed the rubber seal. I used a small screwdriver to get it out. I wasn't worried about damaging it, because it was getting replaced.
6.) Reinstallation was the reverse. (without drilling holes and stuff)
7.) The snap ring was tough to re-install, because all of the new seals are new and not compressed. I was able to put the snap ring into the cylinder,but it did not 'lock' into it's groove. I used a small piece of pipe, and slid the pipe ontop the snap ring. I tapped it gently with a hammer. The hammer pushed the snap ring into it's groove.
That's it!!!
I installed a new chrome pulley on my pwr strg pump. I hooked up everthing. I was ready to balance my control valve, then I realized that my power strg pump was not pumping at all. So, I removed it, and took off the pulley. A new pump is on order and is due on Tuesday.
I am proud to note that the control cylinder nor the control valve leaked fluid. (I rebuilt them both).
On another note, I threw a bit of transmission fluid in the car and cranked it up. It appears that a new front and rear seal stopped those leaks too. It was alot of work, but worth it all!
On to checking the dashboard heater/AC vacuum lines. Thanx to 77-4 speed and Bobchad for their shared experiences!
