POWER STEERING FLUID RETURN HOSE
Service all power steering hoses with vehicle raised
on hoist. Cap all open ends of hoses, power steering
pump fittings and steering gear ports to prevent
entry of foreign material into the components.
WARNING: POWER STEERING OIL, ENGINE
PARTS AND THE EXHAUST SYSTEM MAY BE
EXTREMELY HOT IF ENGINE HAS BEEN RUNNING.
DO NOT START ENGINE WITH ANY LOOSE OR DIS-
CONNECTED HOSES. DO NOT ALLOW HOSES TO
TOUCH HOT EXHAUST MANIFOLD OR CATALYST.
For part reference and part location for the vehicle
that is being serviced, refer to the following figure
numbers. These show the hose bracket locations,
hose routings and fitting locations by the engine
application of the vehicle. Use these figure numbers
when referring to the removal or installation proce-
dures for the power steering hoses listed below.
REMOVE
(1) Remove cap from power steering fluid reser-
voir.
(2) Using a siphon pump, remove as much power
steering fluid as possible from the power steering
fluid reservoir.
(3) Raise vehicle See Hoisting, Group 0. Put oil
drain pan under vehicle to catch power steering fluid.
(4) Raise the insulating heat sleeve on the power
steering hoses to expose the hose to steel tube con-
nection. Remove hose clamp where rubber portion of
power steering fluid return hose attaches to steel
tube on suspension cradle (Fig. 30). Remove rubber
hose from steel tube and allow power steering fluid
to drain from pump.(5) Remove the power steering fluid return hose
from the power steering pump return hose fitting.
INSTALL
(1) Using a lint free towel, wipe clean the open
power steering hose ends and power steering pump
fitting.

CAUTION: The protective heat shield sleeves must
cover the entire rubber hose and hose to tube con-
nection portion of both the power steering fluid
pressure and return hoses (Fig. 30). This is to pre-
vent overheating of the power steering fluid hoses.
(5) When used, position the protective heat sleeves
on the power steering hoses so they cover the connec-
tion to the power steering pump. Then, tie strap the
heat sleeves to the power steering hoses to keep
them in their proper position.

steering hose to steel tube connection. Tighten the
screw clamp to a torque of 2 N´m (18 in. lbs.).
CAUTION: The protective heat shield sleeves must
cover the entire rubber hose and hose to tube con-
nection portion of both the power steering fluid
pressure and return hoses (Fig. 36). This is required
to keep the power steering hoses from becoming
overheated.
(6) When used, properly position the protective
heat sleeves (Fig. 36) on the power steering hoses.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION (Continued)

NOTE: The next step must be done to allow the
removal of the steering gear from the front suspen-
sion cradle. The steering gear can not be removed
from the vehicle with the intermediate coupler
attached to the steering gear.
(15) Lower steering gear from suspension cradle
enough to allow access to the intermediate coupler
roll pin (Fig. 12). Install Remover/Installer Special
Tool 6831A through the center of the roll pin, secur-
ing with the knurled nut (Fig. 12). Hold threaded rod
stationary while turning nut, this will pull the roll
pin out of the intermediate coupler.
(16) Separate the intermediate coupler from the
shaft of the steering gear.
(17) Remove the steering gear assembly from the
front suspension cradle.
INSTALL
(1) Install the steering gear up in the front sus-
pension cradle, leaving room to install intermediate
coupler.
(2) Start the roll pin into the intermediate coupler
before installing coupler on steering gear shaft. Start
roll pin into coupler, using a hammer and tapping it
into the coupler. Then install the intermediate cou-
pler on the shaft of the steering gear.
(3) Install Remover/Installer Special Tool 6831A
through the center of the roll pin, securing it with
the knurled nut (Fig. 13). Hold threaded rod station-
ary while turning nut, this will pull the roll pin into
the intermediate coupler.
(4) Install steering gear assembly on the front sus-
pension cradle. Install the 3 steering gear to front
suspension cradle mounting bolts and nuts (Fig. 11).CAUTION: Proper torque on the steering gear to
suspension cradle mounting bolts is very impor-
tant.
(5) Tighten the 3 steering gear to suspension cra-
dle mounting bolts to a torque of 183 N´m (135 ft.
lbs.).
(6) Attach the power steering fluid pressure and
return lines (Fig. 10) to the proper fittings on the
steering gear. Tighten the power steering fluid line
tube nuts to a torque of 31 N´m (275 in. lbs.).
(7) Install tie rod end into steering knuckle. Start
tie rod end to steering knuckle attaching nut onto
stud of tie rod end. While holding stud of tie rod end
stationary using a 11/32 socket, (Fig. 5) tighten tie
rod end to steering knuckle attaching nut. Then
using a crowfoot and 11/32 socket (Fig. 14), tighten
the tie rod end attaching nut to a torque of 54 N´m
(40 ft. lbs.).
