INSPECTION AND REPAIR OF GEAR
HOUSING COMPONENTS
1. INSPECT RACK
(a) Check the rack for runout and for tooth wear or dam-
age.
(b) Check the back surface for wear or damage.
If faulty, replace it.
Maximum runout: 0.3 mm (0.012 in.)
3. IF NECESSARY, REPLACE CONTROL VALVE
HOUSING OIL SEAL AND BEARING
(a) Using SST, press out the oil seat with bearing.
SST 09630±24013 (09620±24010),09631±12020 2. IF ±NECESSARY, REPLACE RACK HOUSING OIL SEAL
(a) Using a screwdriver, pry out the oil seai.
(b) Using SST, press in a new oil seal.
SST 09630±24013 (09620±24020),09631±12020(b) Using SST, drive in a new oil seal.

5. AIR TIGHTNESS TEST
(a) Install SST to the union of the cylinder housing.
SST 09631±12070
(b) Apply 400 mm Hg (15.75 in. Hg, 53.3 kPa) of vacuum
for about 30 seconds.
(c) Check that there is no change in the vacuum. 4. INSTALL CYLINDER END STOPPER, OIL SEAL AND
SPACER
(a) To prevent oil seal lip damage, wind vinyl tape on the
steering rack end, and apply power steering fluid.
(b) Install the oil seal by pushing it into the cylinder in the
direction shown in drawing, without tilting.
(c) Install the spacer and cylinder end stopper.
(d) Using SST, drive in the cylinder end stopper.
SST 09612±22011(b) Coat SST with power steering fluid.
