Disassembly

1. Remove the 6 bolts around the outer edge of the meter housing.
   
2. CAREFULLY remove the face. The axles for the gears are indexed with the face of the housing. There are 2 guides to help keep things lined up. Do not twist on the face to remove. 
   
3. CAREFULLY remove the gears. It is possible to use needle nose pliers to pull the gears straight out.
   
4. Check the gears to make sure there are no cracks. Most common place for cracks is around the legs where they connect with the outer portion of the gear. If you see cracks, these typically are due to not getting all the liquid out prior to freezing weather.
   
5. Clean gears and housing while you have it apart.
   

Reassembly

1. Place gears back over the axles as shown below where the magnets are all facing outward and the gears should be in a T shape.
   
2. Verify the gears spin freely by placing your fingertip on one of the magnets and spinning the gears around. Make several revolutions in both directions to verify there is no binding.
   
3. Place o-ring back in the groove of the housing.
   
4. Make sure both alignment pins in in place.
   
5. Put the face on the main housing.
   
6. Fit the body cap screws and tighten in a star sequence, then carryout a final check tighten in the same sequence to a firm torque. This sequence and procedure ensures the meter bodies are assembled correctly and evenly. Warning: Do not over tighten any screw fasteners in these PPS plastic meters; otherwise the internal screw threads will be stripped from the plastic components.
