I forgot to mention another advantage of complete removal. It allowed me to very easily inspect the insides of the top and bottom portions of the racor assembly.
I actually discovered the internal white paint on the top part was starting to flake. I removed as much as would come off with sandpaper. Also cleaned the area where the upper and lower O ring and rubber gasket go.
