MAJOR REPAIR OPERATIONS
In most cases, complete disassembly
of the power steering gear will not be
necessary. It is suggested that only
those assemblies that are faulty be dis-
assembled. Disassembly and reassem-
bly of the unit and the subassemblies
must be made on a clean workbench.
As in repairing any hydraulically op-
erated unit, cleanliness is of utmost
importance. Therefore, the bench, 
tools,
 and parts must be kept clean at
all times. Thoroughly clean the exter-
ior of the unit with a suitable solvent
and when necessary, drain as much of
the hydraulic oil as possible. Handle
all parts very carefully to avoid nicks,
burrs,
 scratches and dirt, which could
make the parts unfit for use. Do not
clean, wash or soak seals in cleaning
solvent.
