C: DISASSEMBLY

1) Remove oil strainer from lower control valve
body.

NOTE:
Arrange the removed bolts in good order to assem-
ble in the same place as disassembly, because the

sor from the lower valve body.

NOTE:
Arrange the removed bolts in good order to assem-
ble in the same place as disassembly, because the
bolts length are different.
