Prior to installing the cap, position the thrust shoes in their proper locations.

If the device is covered with abrasive material or contaminates, the unit may be reassembled, provided an abnormal method of reassembly is followed.

After applying anti-seize to the external threads, torque one side at a time to the appropriate values using a quality torque wrench.
