3. Lubricate all seals with Mopar ATE +4, type 9602 prior to installation.
4. Install the 4C piston into the 4C retainer/bulkhead (Fig. 66).
5. Position the 4C piston return spring onto the 4C piston.
6. Using Spring Compressor 8250 and a suitable shop press, compress the 4C piston return spring and install the snap-ring (Fig. 67).
