DISASSEMBLY
WARNING
Valve assemblies are under a spring load. Use caution during disassembly procedures so that no
parts fly out, causing injury to personnel.

the train brakes.
· When removing or repairing brake valves or components, check air lines and pipes for
corrosion, brakes, splits, or loose connections. Repair of air lines and piping consists of
replacing defective pipes, lines, and connections. Refer to TM 55-2210-224-24P for
identification of piping.
