REASSEMBLY
NOTICE:
When using a vise, do not overtighten it.
1. COAT WITH MOLYBDENUM DISULFIDE LITHIUM
BASE GREASE (See page SR−33 )
2. INSTALL WORM GEAR VALVE BODY ASSEMBLY
(a) Coat 2 new O−rings with power steering fluid and install them to the gear housing.
(b) Secure the gear housing on SST and clamp SST in vise. SST 09630−00014 (09631 −00142)
(c) Install the valve body assembly while supporting the worm gear with your fingers so that it does not rotate.
(d) Torque the 4 bolts. Torque: 61 N·m (620 kgf·cm, 45 ft·lbf)
NOTICE:
Be careful not to damage the teflon ring.
(e) Using SST and a torque wrench, check the valve body as-
sembly rotating torque.
SST 09616−00010
Rotating torque:
0.3 − 0.5 N·m (3 − 5.5 kgf·cm, 2.6 − 4.8 in.·lbf)
HINT:
Hold the worm gear to prevent it from turning.
If rotating torque is not correct, replace the worm gear valve
body assembly.
3. INSTALL POWER PISTON PLUNGER GUIDE, POWER
PISTON PLUNGER, COMPRESSION SPRING AND
POWER PISTON PLUNGER GUIDE NUT
(a) Coat a new O−ring with power steering fluid.
(b) Install the O−ring to the plunger guide nut and install the plunger guide nut with a hexagon wrench (10 mm).
Torque: 20 N·m (205 kgf·cm, 15 ft·lbf)

4. DETERMINE CENTER POSITION
(a) Using SST, turn the worm gear valve body shaft so full
lock in both directions and determine the exact center.
SST 09616−00010
(b) Place matchmarks on the worm gear valve body shaft and
worm gear valve body housing to show neutral position.
5. INSTALL CROSS SHAFT AND SIDE COVER
(a) Coat a new O −ring with power steering fluid and install it
on the side cover.
(b) Assemble the cross shaft to the side cover.
HINT:
Fully loosen the cross shaft adjusting screw.
(c) Install and push the cross shaft into the gear housing so that the center teeth mesh together.
(d) Torque the 4 bolts in a diagonal pattern. Torque: 61 N·m (620 kgf·cm, 45 ft·lbf)
6. ADJUST TOTAL PRELOAD
(a) Install SST with a torque wrench on the worm gear valve body shaft.
SST 09616−00010
(b) Turn the cross shaft adjusting screw until the preload is
within specification.
Preload (Turning):
0.74 − 10.8 N·m (7.5 − 11.0 kgf·cm, 6.5 − 9.6 in.·lbf)
7. INSTALL NEW SEAL WASHER
8. INSTALL ADJUSTING SCREW LOCK NUT
Torque the lock nut while holding the cross shaft adjusting
screw. Torque: 46 N·m (470 kgf·cm, 34 ft·lbf)
9. CHECK TOTAL PRELOAD
Using SST and a torque wrench, check total preload. SST 09616−00010
Total preload (Turning):
0.74 − 1.08 N·m (7.5 − 11.0 kgf·cm, 6.5 − 9.6 in.·lbf)
