DESCRIPTION

The roller-type hydraulic pump,

driven by the crankshaft, draws auto-

matic transmission fluid down the res-

ervoir and provides fluid pressure for

the system. Steering gear lubrication
is also provided by the same fluid

from the reservoir. Within the pump

itself is a flow-control and pressure-

relief valve which governs the pres-
sures within the steering system ac-

cording to the varying conditions of

operation. After fluid has passed from

the gear, it returns to the reservoir.

DISASSEMBLY

A clean working area should be

used when overhauling the power

steering pump. Foreign matter picked

up on working parts may cause dam-

age or failure of the unit. Clean con-

tainers should be used for parts.

1.
Drain the fluid from the pump.

Remove the pump cover-to-housing

cap screws (Fig. 1). Place the pump

on the bench, cover side down. Lift

the housing from the cover.

2.
Remove the large and the small

O-rings from the pump cover. Remove

the O-ring from the pressure plate

hub.

3.
Remove the pressure plate-

to-cover screws, and remove the plate.

Lift the cam ring off the dowel pins.

4.
Remove the rollers. Lift the

rotor off the shaft, and remove the

drive key from the shaft. Remove the

dowel pins from the cover.

5.
Remove the rotor shaft from the

cover. Do not remove the snap ring

from the shaft unless it, or the shaft,

is damaged.

6. Pry the rotor shaft seals out of

the cover and the housing.

7. Do not disturb the control valve

unless diagnosis indicated a control

valve problem or foreign matter in the

valve. To remove the valve, drive the

roll pin out of the housing. Remove

the plug and O-ring, control valve,

and the spring. If the plug or valve is

stuck, tap the end of the housing on a

piece of wood or tap it with a soft-

faced hammer. Remove the O-ring

from the plug.

ASSEMBLY

Apply automatic transmission fluid

to all parts as they are assembled. Al-

ways use new seals and O-rings.

1.
Install the control valve spring in

the housing. Install the valve with the

small sensing hole in the end of the

valve toward the spring. Install a new

O-ring on the plug. The plug O-ring is

1/8 inch smaller in diameter than the

bypass O-ring. Make sure the proper

O-ring is used. Install the plug and a

new roll pin (Fig. 1).

2.
The rotor shaft oil seals are in-

stalled in the cover and the housing

with Tool 3583-J, which consists of a

driver and an adapter. The procedure

is as follows:

a. Support the cover on wood

blocks (Fig. 2) to provide tool clear-

ance.
Use clean blocks that will not

nick or damage the inner face of the

cover.
b.
Start the seal (metal shell up-

ward) square!y into the bore with fin-

ger pressure. Place the adapter on the

driver with the square corner of the

FIG. 2—Preparation for Installing

Rotor Shaft Seals

adapter toward the seal (Fig. 2). Drive

the seal into the cover, as shown in

Fig. 3, until it bottoms.

Driving the seal beyond this point

can damage it. Install the seal in the

pump housing in the same manner.

3.

FIG. 3—Installing Rotor

Shaft Seals
cover as shown in Fig. 4 to prevent

damage to the seal.

4.
Install the dowel pins in the

cover. Place the rotor drive key in the

shaft. Install the rotor on the shaft

with the drive key groove aligned with

the key and the counterbored side of

the rotor toward the cover so that it

goes over the snap ring.

5.
Place the cam ring on the dowel

pins with the chamfered edge upward

(Fig. 5). Place the rollers in the rotor.

6. Place the pressure plate on the

dowel pins. Install and tighten the

screws to 20 in-lbs torque. Install the

O-ring on the pressure plate hub. In-

stall O-rings in the groove at the fluid

bypass hole and around the cam ring

(Fig. 6).

7.

BALANCING LIFE

GUARD TIRE

Tires fitted with the Life Guard

Safety Spare are balanced in the same

manner as conventional tires. If an ex-

cessive out of balance condition exists

the following procedure can be used to

correct the condition:

1.
Remove the core housing and de-

flate both air chambers.

2.
Install the core housing.

3.
Unseat the beads of tire with the

bead breakers away from the valve

stem as shown in Fig. 5.

F 1383

FIG. 5—Breaking Top Bead of

Tire From Wheel Rim
4.
Rotate tire casing 90 degrees on

the wheel rim.

5.
Rotate the tire casing back and

forth on the rim to center the valve.

6. Inflate both chambers of the tire

following steps 13 through 15 of the

Tire Installation procedure.

7.
Balance the tire in the normal

manner.

CORRECTING VIBRATION

AND SHAKE-

LIFE GUARD TIRE

The condition of excessive vibration

and shake is generally the result of an

incorrect pressure relationship between

the inner and outer air chambers that

may cause the life guard to shift posi-

tion within the tire. The following

procedure should be used to correct

vibration and shake conditions:

1.
Check pressure of the inner and

outer air chambers on all four tires.

2.
If the inner chamber has at least

five psi more pressure than the outer

chamber the pressures should be ad-

justed and the tires rebalanced if nec-

essary.

3.
If the pressures of the inner and

outer air chambers are equal the Air

Container is leaking. To repair the

leaking air container the recommend-

ed procedures for the removal, repair

of air container, mounting, and bal-

ancing should be followed.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

HOISTING INSTRUCTIONS

Damage to steering linkage compo-

nents and front suspension struts may

occur if care is not exercised when po-

sitioning the hoist adapters of 2 post

hoists prior to lifting the vehicle.

If a 2 post hoist is used to lift the

vehicle, place the adapters under the

lower arms or the No. 1 crossmember.

Do not allow the adapters to contact

the steering linkage. If the adapters

are placed under the crossmember, a

piece of wood (2x4x16 inches) should

be placed on the hoist channel be-

tween the adapters. This will prevent

the adapters from damaging the front

suspension struts.

MOUNTING CONVENTIONAL

TIRE TO WHEEL

1.
If a used tire is being installed

remove all dirt from the tire.

If a tire is being mounted to the

original wheel, clean the rim with

emery cloth or fine steel wool. Check

the rim for dents.

If a new wheel is being installed,

coat a new valve with RUGLYDE or

similar rubber lubricant and position

the valve to the new wheel. Use a rub-

ber hammer or a valve replacing tool

to seat the valve firmly against the in-

side of the rim.

2.
Apply RUGLYDE or a similar

rubber lubricant to the sealing surface

on both tire beads. With the outer

side of the wheel down, pry the beads

over the wheel rim with two tire irons.

Do not use a hammer or mallet to

force the beads over the rim.

3.
Align the balance mark on the

tire with the valve on the wheel.

4.
Hold the beads against the rim

flanges by positioning a tire mounting

band over the tire (Fig. 7). If a

mounting band is not available, tie a

tourniquet of heavy cord around the

circumference and in the center of the

tire.
Tighten the cord with a tire iron.

Center the tire on the wheel with a

rubber mallet.

5.
Give the tire a few quick bursts

of air to seat the beads properly, then

inflate the tire to 40 psi pressure.

Check to see that the bead positioning

rings (outer rings near the side walls)

are evenly visible just above the rim

flanges all the way around the tire. If

the rings are not even, deflate the tire

completely and inflate it again.

6. When the rings are properly po-

sitioned, deflate the tire to the recom-

mended pressure.
