Thanks for the very clear video. What grease/type did you use to pack the internal lever area? Fixing up my 1060 Series 62, and I want to do it all correctly. Thanks in advance.
You need to remove the pivot pin from the lever and slide the lever out. The lever pin is peened in place, so the best way to remove it is with a small cut off wheel or grinding wheel in a Dremel tool. However, since this makes the pin unusable again, make sure there is a replacement pin in your rebuild kit. One the pin is out, you need to push the diaphragm down to release the hook beneath it. You should then be able to slide the lever out. This will release the diaphragm. Beneath the diaphragm is an oil seal. Make sure to replace this seal too. To reassemble, reverse the procedure. Remember to include the large spring beneath the diaphragm as well as the small spring that pushes on the lever. Once the replacement pivot pin is installed, use a punch too peen it in place so that it can't fall out. Good luck! It's rather easy to follow once you get it apart. It all becomes much more obvious then. Thanks for watching!

Standard wheel bearing grease. Thank you for watching, let us know if you need any other help!
Can you show how to replace the diaphragm? I don't understand how to release it from the lever

Did you replace the diaphragm? You started removing it, but then jumped to something else. What did I miss??
Sorry it wasn’t clear, I did not need to replace the diaphram because the problem was simply a loose valve. Thanks for reaching out.
