NOTICE:
Use SST 09922-10010 in the direction shown in the illustra-
tion.
8. REMOVE PINION BEARING ADJUSTING SCREW
(a) To prevent oil seal lip damage, wind vinyl tape on the ser-
rated part of the steering pinion.

9. REMOVE STEERING PINION WITH BEARING
Fully pull the steering rack from the steering pinion side of the
rack housing and align the rack cutout portion with the pinion.
NOTICE:
Be careful not to damage the serrations.
10. REMOVE STEERING RACK
NOTICE:

4. IF NECESSARY, REPLACE BUSHING
(a) Using a screwdriver, depress the projections on the bush-
ing to release the bushing, then remove the bushing from
the rack housing.
(b) Ensure that the hole of the rack housing is not clogged
with grease.
HINT:
If the hole is clogged, the pressure inside the boot will change
after it is assembled and the steering wheel is turned.
(c) Coat inside a new bushing with molybdenum disulfide lith-
ium base grease.
(d) Install the bushing into the rack housing, making sure to
align into the 3 holes.
5. IF NECESSARY, REPLACE OIL SEAL
(a) Using SST, press out the oil seal from the pinion bearing
adjusting screw.
SST 09950-60010 (09951-00240),
09950-70010 (09951-07100)
(b) Coat a new oil seal lip with molybdenum disulfide lithium
base grease.
(c) Using SST, press in the oil seal with it is protruding 5 mm
(0.21 in.).
SST 09950-60010 (09951-00240),
09950-70010 (09951-07100)
NOTICE:
Make sure to install the oil seal facing the correct direction.

2. INSTALL STEERING RACK
Install the rack into the rack housing.
NOTICE:
To avoid damaging the bushing, install the rack from the
steering pinion side of the rack housing without revolving
it.
3. INSTALL STEERING PINION
(a) Set the steering rack notched side so that the pinion can
be positioned inside.
(b) Line up the cutout portion of the rack with the pinion.
(c) Ensure that the pinion end is securely located in the bear-
ing.
NOTICE:
Do not engage the pinion teeth with the rack teeth.
4. INSTALL PINION BEARING ADJUSTING SCREW
(a) To prevent oil seal lip damage, wind vinyl tape on the ser-
rated part of the steering pinion.
(b) Apply sealant to 2 or 3 threads of the screw.
Sealant:
Part No.08833-00080, THREE BOND 1344,
LOCTITE 242 or equivalent
(c) Using SST, temporarily install the screw.

5. ADJUST PINION PRELOAD
NOTICE:
Do not engage the pinion teeth with the rack teeth.
(a) Using SST and a torque wrench, tighten the pinion bear-
ing adjusting screw until the preload matches the specifi-
cation.
