# Bolt Tensioning Tensioner Removal

1. Ensure that all pistons have fully retracted. Make sure the top of the puller bar is flush with the top of the endcap.

2. Unscrew the puller bars by rotating the puller bar until the puller threads disengage with the stud threads. Use a suitable 1/2” square drive manual or pneumatic wrench (preferably set at a very low torque level) engaged into the female 1/2” square drive in the top face of the puller bar. Hold the manifold block steady while rotating the puller bar; keep the manifold block and hydraulic connections in an accessible position. Be aware that the tool outer body will want to rotate with the puller bar. Once the threads have fully disengaged lift the tools away from the bolts.
