Both parts need to be dry so the lubricant will adhere. Oil and water don't mix.Install new orifice o-ring into carrier. Caution: DO NO T use screwdrivers, utility knives, etc. to remove o -ring from the carrier . Use no metal tools, they can nick or damage the carrier.Apply lube to the installed orifice o-ring. Inspect orifice for wear (stars, nicks, oval shaped orifice, etc.).Replace with a new orifice disc as needed.Put the selected orifice disc on top of the o-ring, with beveledoutside edge facing o-ring.
