(1) Face Y-packing in the direction shown in figure
when installing.
(2) To avoid scratching Y-packing, apply a coat of
grease to contact surface of installer and Y-packing.
(3) To facilitate installation, attach Y-packing to installer
and position in valve housing before pressing into
place.

5) Apply a coat of specified steering grease to ST surface,
and install ST onto end of input shaft. Insert pinion and
valve until“A”of oil seal contacts“B”of valve housing. The
ST is used to prevent scratching Y-packing.

6) While supporting pinion and valve, push end of pinion
until bearing contacts brazed end of valve housing.
CAUTION:
Do not allow spacer to extend beyond brazed end.
Otherwise, pinion cannot be inserted properly.
G4M0843
7) Apply a coat of grease to sealing lips of dust cover, and
insert dust cover until it contacts staged portion of input
shaft.
8) Adjust sealing lip-to-housing end clearance to 0 to 0.5
mm (0 to 0.020 in). If sealing lip is too close to housing end,
steering wheel will not return smoothly; if it is too far from
housing end, dust or dirt will enter the clearance.
NOTE:
Ensure that pinion and valve is properly positioned in valve
housing before adjustment.

2. PINION AND VALVE ASSEMBLY

Removal
1) Remove snap ring securing valve sleeve to pinion and
valve, and remove valve sleeve.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to scratch pinion and valve when remov-
ing snap ring.
G4M0827
2) Remove oil seal and spacer.
3) Using a long rod, remove seal ring and O-ring from
pinion.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to scratch outer surface and seal ring
groove of input shaft. If scratched, sealing effect will
be lost, resulting in a malfunctioning valve.

3. RACK PISTON SEAL RING AND O-RING

Removal
Using a sharp-edged, long rod, remove seal ring and
O-ring from rack piston.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to scratch outer surface of rack piston
and seal ring groove. A scratch may reduce the seal-
ing effect, resulting in faulty piston operation.
G4M0834

Installation
1) Wash clean rack piston.
2) Install O-ring and seal ring in groove on rack piston.
CAUTION:

Do not expand O-ring and seal ring more than nec-
essary.

To facilitate installation of seal ring, first position
one half of entire seal ring in groove. Then slowly posi-
tion the second half using a spatula, as shown.
