e. Bring spring slots in both parts in line and stand
on end of bench. Position pairs of centering springs (or 2
sets of 3 each) on bench so that extended edge is down
and arched center is together. Enter one end of one
spring set into slot just far enough to edge on opposite
side (see figure 9-39).
f. Enter second spring set from opposite side from
installed spring set. Work the spring set around until
spring set enters slot on opposite side. The two spring
sets will now have tension between them at their arches

i. Push into place until cross pin is flush or slightly
below the sleeve diameter at both ends (see figure 9-43).
j. Position the housing on a solid surface with the
port face down. Start the spool assembly so that the
splined end of the spool enters the 14 hole end of the
housing first (see figure 9-44).
k. Be extremely careful that the parts do not cock
out of position while entering. Push parts gently into place
with slight rotating motion (see figure 9-45). Bring the
spool assembly entirely within the housing bore until the
parts are flush at the meter end or 14 hole end of the
housing. Do not pull the spool assembly beyond this point
