6) Blow compressed air into cylinder through
bolt hole where flexible hose was fitted. With
this air pressure, the piston can be pushed out
of cylinder.
WARNING:
Do not apply too highly compressed air
which will cause piston to jump out of
cylinder. It should be taken out gradually
with moderately compressed air. Do not
place your fingers in front of the piston
when using compressed air to push it out
