As you can see, I didn't follow the instructions in the article on Pirate exaxtly. I left the entire spool valve assembly and worm gear in the box. I removed the four bolts holding the top cap and slid the top cap an pittman shaft out as an assembly. Then I removed the end cap. I then turned the box on it's end with the input shaft facing up. I then turned the input shaft clockwise while holding my hand over the end of the box where the end cap used to be. As the piston came out of the box, all the balls fell down inside the piston. Once I removed the piston, i turned the piston over and all 24 balls fell out. Using this method I was able to avoid messing with the valve portion of the box, and I did not have to buy any seals or gaskets for this entire modification.Total cost 4 hours and $0.00.
