NOTE: Only reinstall the original 32 mm shim(s)
when the steering gearbox is reassembled without
replacing the pinion shaft, valve housing, and gear-

lf the pinion shaft, valve housing, and gearbox
housing are replaced, select the new shim{s) as fol-
rows.
Shim r€lection:-'1. Set the four 32 mm shims on the b€aring surface of
the gearbox housing. Total thickness of the four
shims should eoual no more than 0.70 mm.

-4. Determine the requifed thickness of the 32 mm
shims by subtracting the clearance obtained in thestep -3 from the total thickness of the four shims.(Total thickness of the 4 shims) - (Clearance) =
Required thickness of the shims
NOTE: Select the shims so that th6 total thicknessis close to, but less than the required thickness.
Exampls:
Measu.ement is 0.28 mm (0.011 in):
0.70 - 0.28 = 0.42 mm (0.028 - 0.011 = 0.0't7 in)
The selected shims should be 0.25 mm (O.O1O in) and0.15 mm (0.005 in) in thickness.
lf the required shim thickness is 0.lO mm or less, no
shims are necessary.
i[9. Set the selected 32 mm shims on the bearing sur-face of the g€arbox housing.

as follows:
. Turn the steering wheel left approx. 150 degrees,
to check the cable reel position with indicator.
. lfthe cable reel is centered. the yellow gear tooth
lines up with the alignment mark on the cover.
. Return the steering wheel right approx. 150
