  1. Identification of internal seals and O-rings – The most common failure points.
  2. Ordering correct replacement parts – One wrong seal can lead to a rebuild failure.
  3. Step-by-step disassembly guidance – The diagram shows the order of assembly.
  4. Troubleshooting flow paths – Understanding where fluid moves inside the helm.
  1. Remove the reservoir and drain fluid.
  2. Remove the snap ring and end cap (watch for spring tension).
