• | J 26900-13 Magnetic Indicator Base

### Disassembly Procedure

1. Remove the snap ring from the clutch drum (2).
2. Remove the following components:

• | The flange (9)

• | The discs (8)

• | The plates (7)

3. Use a J 25018-A and J 23327 in order to compress the piston return springs (1).
4. Remove the snap ring (6), exposing the retainer spring (5).
5. Remove the following components:

• | The retainer spring

• | The 18 springs (1)

6. Remove the piston by applying compressed air into the oil passage.

If the piston does not come out, use needle-nose pliers in order to remove the piston.

7. Inspect the clutch piston:

7.1. | Shake the piston in order to determine if the check ball is free.

7.2. | Apply low-pressure compressed air in order to determine if the valve leaks.

8. Remove the O-rings (4) from the piston (3).
9. Replace the oil seal rings (1) using the following procedure:

9.1. | Slide the rings over the top of the shaft drum (2).

9.3. | Do not spread the ring ends.

### Assembly Procedure

1. Coat the new O-ring with J 36850 or equivalent.
2. Install the new O-ring on the piston.

Important: Do not damage the O-ring during piston installation.

3. Install the piston into the forward clutch drum (2) .

Verify that the cup side of the piston faces upward.

4. Install the following components:

4.1. | The 18 piston return springs (1)

4.2. | The spring retainer

5. Using J 25018-A and J 23327-1 , compress the return springs (1).

Install the flange with the flat end facing downward.

8. Install the outer snap ring (10).

Verify that the end gap of the snap ring is not aligned with any of the cutouts.

9. Use compressed air in order to inspect the stroke of the forward clutch.
10. Using J 8001 and J 26900-13 , apply compressed air into the oil passage with the shaft.
11. Verify that the piston moves properly.
12. If the piston does NOT move properly, disassemble and inspect the forward clutch.
