Be sure that open ends of springs (7) have bend facing up. Each pair of springs (7) must have open ends alined with each other. Continue stacking until stack is 1 inch from top of housing. Insert guide pins in each oil hole slot, refer to illustration. Continue stacking plates (6 and 5) and springs (7) using guide pins to aline teeth of plates.
