- Slide the correct piston for each cylinder into the (T10333) from above until the short side of the piston - arrow - extends approximately 15 mm out of the lower edge of the (T10333).





- Now place the piston with the (T10333) in the appropriate cylinder bore. The high side of the (T10333) - arrow - must face toward the center of the cylinder block.
