Housing Hose Connector Seats & Check Valve Replacement
To remove connectors, tap threads using a 5/16"-18 tap. Tap only 2 or 3 threads to avoid damaging check valve. Thread a bolt with a nut and flat washer into tapped hole, pull connector out by holding bolt from rotating while turning nut off bolt. Remove poppet valve and spring from pressure port. Install new check valve spring in pressure port with large end down, being sure spring is seated in counterbore. Place new check valve over spring, tangs down, being sure valve is centered on small end of spring. Drive new connector seats in ports, using a suitable Valve Connector Seat Installer Tool (J-6217 or equivalent), check for free operation of check valve and connect hoses.
