7. Important:
^ Do not pry apart the EBCM (1) from the BPMV (2) using a tool. Be careful not to damage seal on the EBCM or the mating surface of the BPMV.
^ Care must be taken not to damage the solenoids when the EBCM is removed from the BPMV.
Separate the EBCM (1) from the BPMV (2) by carefully pulling apart.
Installation Procedure
