OVERHAUL Sector shaft cover assembly
31.Inspect cover and bearing. If worn or damaged,
replacement parts are not available, fit a new
steering box.
Sector shaft adjuster locknut
32.The locknut is also a fluid seal. Fit new nut at
overhaul.
Valve and worm assembly
33.Examine bearing areas for wear. The areas must
be smooth and not indented.
34.Examine worm track which must be smooth and
not indented.
35.Check for wear on torsion bar assembly pin. No
free movement should exist between input shaft
and torsion bar or between torsion bar and
worm.
NOTE: Any sign of wear makes it essential
to fit new valve and worm assembly.
36.Examine valve rings for cuts, scratches and
grooves. The valve rings should be free to rotate
in grooves.
37.If required, replace all three rings, using ring
expander LRT-57-019. The expander will not
pass over rings already fitted. Remove rings to
allow access without damaging seal grooves.
38.Warm rings and expander tool to aid assembly.
Fit rings to expander, slide expander over valve
and worm assembly. In turn fit rings to their
grooves. Remove expander, slide valve and
worm assembly into ring compressor
LRT-57-020 and allow to cool.
Ball bearing and cage assemblies
39.Examine ball races and cups for wear and
general condition.
40.If ball cage has worn against bearing cup, fit
replacements.
41.Bearing balls must be retained by cage.
42.Bearing and cage repair is carried out by
complete replacement of assembly.

OVERHAUL
61.Fit new worm adjuster sealing ring.
62.Loosely screw adjuster into casing.
63.Fit locknut, do not tighten.
64.Turn in worm adjuster until end float is almost
eliminated. Ensure bearing cages are seated
correctly.
65.Measure maximum rolling torque of valve and
worm assembly, using a torque wrench and
spline socket LRT-57-025.
66.Turn in worm adjuster while rotating shaft to
increase figure measured in instruction 65. to
0.56 Nm.
67.Back off worm adjuster 1/4 turn. Turn in worm
adjuster to increase reading at 65. by 0.21 - 0.34
Nm with locknut tight,
100 Nm.Use worm
adjusting wrench LRT-57-006 and locknut
wrench LRT-57-028.Fitting rack and piston
68.Screw slave bolt into piston to aid assembly.
69.Fit piston and rack so piston is 70 mm from outer
end of bore.
Fitting sector shaft
70.Fit sector shaft using seal saver LRT-57-021.
Align roller with cut out in casing - see
RR3934M. Push in sector shaft while rotating
input shaft to allow sector roller to engage worm.
Fitting rack adjuster
71.Fit rack adjuster and thrust pad to engage rack.
Back off half turn on adjuster.
72.Loosely fit new nylon pad and adjuster set screw
assembly.

OVERHAUL Fitting sector shaft cover
73.Fit new sealing ring to cover.
74.Align cover with casing.
75.Screw cover assembly fully on to sector shaft
adjuster screw.
76.If necessary back off sector shaft adjuster screw.
Tap cover in place to allow cover to joint fully
with casing.
NOTE: Before tightening fixings, rotate
input shaft to ensure sector shaft roller is
free to move in valve worm. If initial
resistance is left, turn adjuster screw
approximately two turns in a clockwise direction.
77.Fit cover bolts. Tighten to
75 Nm.
Fitting cylinder cover
78.Fit new square section seal to cover.
79.Remove slave bolt fitted at instruction 68. Press
cover into cylinder just to clear retainer ring
groove.
80.Fit retaining ring to groove with one end of ring
positioned 12 mm from extractor hole.
Adjusting sector shaft
NOTE: Refit drop arm and tighten nut
sufficiently to ensure that no backlash
exists between drop arm and sector shaft.
81.To set worm on centre, rotate input shaft to full
inner-lock (full right lock for a left hand drive
vehicle, full left lock for a right hand drive
vehicle). Rotate input shaft back towards centre
two full turns.
82.The box is now on centre and can be adjusted.

OVERHAUL 83.Hold input shaft and rock drop arm to establish
backlash is present. Continue rocking and slowly
turn sector shaft adjusting screw clockwise.
Continue rotating adjuster screw until backlash
has almost been eliminated.
84.Refit locknut and tighten.
NOTE: It is important steering box is
centralised before any adjustments are
made.
85.Check maximum rolling torque one and a quarter
turns either side of centre position, using a
torque wrench and spline socket LRT-57-025.
Rotate adjuster screw to obtain across centre
torque of 0.34 Nm plus torque figure at one and
a quarter turns. Tighten adjuster locknut to
60
Nm.
Adjusting rack adjuster.
86.Turn in rack adjuster to increase figure
measured in instruction 85. by 0.23 - 0.34 Nm.
The final figure may be less, but must not
exceed 1.35 Nm.
87.Lock rack adjuster in position with grub screw.
Tighten to
5 Nm.
Torque peak check
With input shaft rotated from lock to lock, rolling
torque figures should be greatest across centre
position and equally disposed about centre position.
The condition depends on value of shimming fitted
between valve and worm assembly inner bearing cup
and casing. The original shim washer value will give
correct torque peak position unless major components
have been replaced.Procedure
88.With input coupling shaft toward the operator,
turn shaft fully counter-clockwise.
89.Check torque figures obtained from lock to lock
using torque wrench and spline socket
LRT-57-025.
90.Check also for equal engagement either side of
centre.
Adjustments
91.Note where greatest figures are recorded
relative to steering position.If greatest figures are
not recorded across centre of travel (steering
straight-ahead), adjust as follows:
If torque peak occursbeforecentre position,addto
shim washer value; if torque peak occursaftercentre
position,subtractfrom shim washer value,
refer to
fitting valve and worm assembly
.
Shim washers are available as follows:
0.03mm, 0.07mm, 0.12mm and 0.24mm.
NOTE: Adjustment of 0.07mm to shim
value will move torque peak area by 1/4
turn on the shaft.
CAUTION: When reshimming valve and
worm, extreme caution must be exercised
to prevent seal damage during
reassembly.
