The purpose of the O-ring is to insure more consistent pressure readings when a gauge is attached to the Low-Reverse Brake Pressure Port (see Fig. 1). Center support drums which require the O-ring have a circular recess In a spot-faced area The O-ring should be replaced whenever the center support is reassembled into the case.
