While removing this screw, pull the index away from the meter to keep its backplate

prematurely.

6. Remove the screw from the index once it is completely free of its hole.
7. Set the index aside for the moment. Place it where it will not be damaged; get filled
with dirt, rain, or snow; or fall to the ground or floor. The index will be used later in
this procedure.
8. Examine the index screws you just removed. Verify that they are 3/16-inch long and
are not corroded.
• If the screws are 3/16-inch long and are not corroded, keep them for later use.
• If the screws are an incorrect length or are corroded, dispose of them properly.
Use 8 - 32 x 3/16-inch screws as described in Replacement Screws instead.
9. Use a putty knife or similar object to completely remove the old index gasket from the
meter (if applicable). All traces of the gasket must be removed before the OpenWay
Gas Module can be installed.
