Lower bearing
1. Secure the gear housing in a vise so that the low-
er bearing bore faces upward.
2. Apply ATF to the lower bearing, then install it in
the housing.
3. Press the bearing into the gear housing with the
housing cover. Tighten the cover until the tighten-
ing force suddenly increases.

Checking Condition
Condition A
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Start the engine and let it idle.
3. Turn the steering wheel to the straight-ahead po-
sition, and check the output pattern.
Refer to page 10—89 for other patterns and indi-
cated failure points.
Condition B
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Start the engine and let it idle.
3. Turn the steering wheel 45° left and right from the
center, and check the output pattern.
Refer to page 10—89 for other patterns and indi-
cated failure points.
Condition C
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Place the vehicle on a chassis roller tester. Block
the rear wheels, and secure it with chains.
3. Start the engine. Put the transmission in gear and
operate the vehicle at more than 10 km/h (6.2
mph).
4.Check the output pattern.
