Thanks, Ronnie.
Ronnie,

When properly assembled the coupler sides close flat together, be sure that the nut on the piston shaft is properly seated in the coupler (a flat face on the nut must be parallel to the wall of the recess in the coupler, otherwise there will be a split when assembled due to the nut not being fully seated).
