1.       Unscrew and remove non adjusting stainless steel guide rod (CB-1). Note:Do not  remove brass locking rivet or seal (CB-2)at any time or else recalibration is required. 

2.     Remove brass plug (CB-3)for upper fitting with screwdriver (CB-4).

3.     Using a 1” open end wrench (CB-5), unscrew the brass compression hex nut at the bottom of the gauge assembly.

4.     Carefully grasp the gauge glass (CB-6), lift and twist at the same time to remove from the gauge supports. Be sure to find the two “O” rings (CB-7)under the brass compression hex nut, as they do not always come out with the glass (CB-8).

5.     To re-install reverse the process, Carefully putting the "O" rings around the tube where necessary (CB-9). Tighten the compression nut so that you can not twist the gauge glass in the assembly. Note: Over tightening the brass compression hex nut may crack the glass.
