Removal
SRS components are located in this area. Review the
SRS component locations, precautions, and procedures
in the SRS section (24) before performing repairs or ser-
vice.
1. Align the front wheels straight ahead. then remove
the driver's airbag assembly (see section 24) from
the steering wheel.
2. Disconnect the horn connector and cruise control
switch connectors.

3. Loosen the steering wheel bolt, then install a steering
wheel puller on the steering wheel and remove it.
Note these items when removing the steering wheel:
. Do not tap on the steering wheel or the steering
column shaft when removing the steering wheel.
. lf you thread the puller bolts into the wheel hub
more than five threads, the bolts will hit the cable
reel and damage it. To prevent this, install a pair
of jam nuts five threads up on each puller bolt.

1. Before installing the steering wheel, make sure the
front wheels are aligned straight ahead, then center
the cable reel. Do this by first rotating the cable reel
clockwise until it stops. Then rotate it counterclock-
wise approximately two turns. The arrow mark on
the cable reel label should point straight up.

2. Install the steering wheel on to the steering column
shaft, making sure the steering wheel shaft engages
the cable reel and canceling sleeve. Do not tap on
the steering wheel or steering column shatt when
instailing the steering wheel

Inspection
Flow Control Valve
1. Check the flow control valve for wear, burrs, and
other damage to the edges of the grooves in thevalve.
'97 model:
FLOWCONTROL VALVE
Check fordamage to edges.
'98 - 0O mod€ls:
FLOW CONTBOL VALVE
Check for damageto edges.
Insp€d the bore of the flow control valve tor scratchesor wear.
Slip the valve back in the pump, and check that itmoves in and out smoothly. lf OK, go to step 4; ifnot, replace the pump as an assembly. The flowcontrolvalve is not available separately.

5. Submerge the valve in a container of power steer-
ing fluid or solvent, and blow in the hose. lf air bub-
bles leak through the valve at less than 98 kPa
(1.0 kgflcm', 14.2 psi), repair it as follows ('97 model).
For'98 - 00 models, the flow control valve cannot
be disassembled; replace the pump as an assembly

The relief pressure is adjusted at the factory by
adding shims under the check ball seat lf you found
shims in your valve, be sure you reinstall as many
as you took out.
lf the flow control valve tests OK, reinstall it in the
pump. It the flow control valve still leaks air, replace
the pump as an assembly. The flow control valve is
not available separately.

'1. Inspect the ball bearing by rotating the outer race
slowly. lf any play or roughness is felt, replace the
ball bearing.
2. Replace the ball bearing using a press.

Master Cylinder/Brake Booster
Removal/lnstallation
1, Disconnect the brake fluid level switch connectors.
2. Remove the reservoir cap from the master cylinder.
3. Remove the brake fluid from the master cvlinder
reservoir with a syringe.
4. Disconnect the brake lines from the master cylinder.
To prevent spills, cover the line joints with rags or
shop towels.
5. Remove the master cylinder mounting nuts and
wasners.
6. Remove the master cylinder from the brake booster.
CAUTION: Be careful not to bend or damage the
brake lines when removing the master cylinder.
Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may dam.
age the paint; it brake fluid does cont.ct the paint,
wash it oft immediately with water.
7. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the brake booster.
8. Remove the cotter pin and clevis pin from the clevis.
Do not disconnect the clevis by removing it from
the operating rod of the brake booster. lf the clevis
is loosened, adjust the pushrod length before
installing the brake booster (see page 19-15).

panment.
12. Install the brake booster and master cylinder in the
reverse order of removal, and note these items:
. When connecting the brake lines, make sure that
there is no interference between the brake lines
and other parts.
. Be careful not to bend or damage the brake lines
when installing the master cylinder.
. lf replacing the master cylinder or brake booster,
check and adjust the pushrod clearance before
installing the master cylinder (see page 19-14).
Fill the master cylinder reservoir, and bleed the
brake system (see page 19-7).
After installation, check the brake pedal height and
brake pedal free play (see page 19-5), and adjust if
necessary.
