NOTICE
In the following step, an excessive amount of grease will prevent proper tooth engagement
between the ratchet and the drive segment, causing the tool to malfunction.
7. Wipe a thin film of Marine Moly Grease onto the inner face of the large opening in the drive
plate.
8. Position the ratchet (6) in the central opening of the drive plate.
9. Insert the drive segment (7) into the opening adjacent to the ratchet. Make certain the teeth
of the ratchet correctly engage the teeth of the drive segment. Reverse the ratchet if they do
not properly engage.
10. Slide the drive segment sideways to expose the spring hole. Install the segment spring (14)
into the hole. While compressing the spring, slide the drive segment inward until the drive
plate captures the segment spring.
11. Apply a light coat of Marine Moly Grease to both sides of the drive plate and drive segment.
Apply some of the Marine Moly to the inner races of both side plate sleeves (12).
12. While keeping the assembly together, insert the hub of the ratchet into the side plate sleeve
of the assembled side plate.
13. Place the left side plate sleeve on the hub of the ratchet and align the screw holes for the
spacers.
14. After applying a non-permanent thread-locking compound to the threads and using hex
wrenches, install the two remaining lower spacer screws.
Assembly of the 56586, 56589 , 56590 and 56591 Cylinder Assemblies
1. Grasp the link retaining pin lug in copper-covered, vise jaws with the housing (1) horizontal.
2. If the rod seal (18) was removed from the housing, apply a coat of o-ring lubricant to the
seal and install it, lip end trailing, in the recess at the bottom of the piston bore.
3. Press the slider pin (16) into one of the sliders (9) flush with one side. Install the pin through
the hole in the piston shaft and press the remaining slider onto the pin.
4. Install the piston o-ring (19) in the groove of the piston head.
5. Insert the piston rod, threaded end leading, into the small central opening from the non-
piston end of the housing. The notch in the trailing end of the shaft should be toward the ball
plunger (15).
6. Insert the piston, hex end trailing, into the bore of the housing, and use socket to thread and
tighten the piston onto the piston shaft.
7. Install the end plug seal (17) in the groove on the hub of the end cap (10).
8. Using the end plug wrench (23), thread the assembled end cap, o-ring end leading, into the
piston end of the housing and tighten it. NOTE: The 56586 cylinder requires a 5/8" socket to
screw in and tighten the end plug.
9. Wrap the threads of the swivel sets (20) with teflon tape and thread the swivel with the male
hose coupler (21) into the center of the end cap. Thread the swivel with the female coupler
into the hole in the housing directly above the end cap. NOTE: The 56586 cylinder uses 16"
whip hoses instead of swivels.
Assembly of the 56573, 56587, and 56588 Cylinder Assemblies
1. Grasp the link retaining pin lug in copper-covered vise jaws with the housing (1) horizontal.
2. If the rod seal (18) was removed from the housing, apply a coat of o-ring lubricant to the seal
and install it, lip end trailing, in the recess at the bottom of the piston bore.
3. Insert the piston rod, notched end leading, into the rod seal and the small central opening
from the piston end of the housing. The notch in the leading end of the shaft should be
toward the ball plunger (15).
4. Push the piston rod (3) inward until the hole for the slider pin (16) aligns with the holes in the
walls of the housing.
