(f) Temporarily tighten the terminal nuts.
(g) Tighten the terminal nut
(1) Put a wooden block on the contact plate and press
it down with a hand press.
Dimensions of wooden block:
20 x 37 x 40 mm (0.79 x 1.46 x 1.57 in.)
Press force:
981 N (100 kgf, 221 lbf)
NOTICE:
Check the diameter of the hand press ram. Then
calculate the gauge pressure of the press when
981 N (100 kgf, 221 lbf) of force is applied.
Gauge pressure:
If the contact plate is not pressed down with the spe-
cified pressure, the contact plate may tilt due to coil
deformation or the tightening of the nut.
(2) Using SST, tighten the nuts to the specified torque.
SST 09810-38140
Torque: 17 N´m (173 kgf´cm, 13 ft´lbf)
NOTICE:
If the nut is over tightened, it may cause cracks on the in-
side of the insulator.
(h) Clean the contact surfaces of the remaining contact plate
and plunger with a dry shop rag.
(i) Reinstall the plunger, new gasket, end cover and lead
clamp with the 3 bolts.
Torque: 2.5 N´m (26 kgf´cm, 22 in.´lbf)

STEERING WHEEL
INSPECTION
1. CHECK STEERING WHEEL FREEPLAY
With the vehicle stopped and tires pointed straight ahead, rock
the steering wheel gently back and forth with light finger pres-
sure.
Freeplay should not exceed the maximum.
Maximum freeplay: 30 mm (1.18 in.)
2. CHECK STEERING EFFORT
(a) Center the steering wheel.
(b) Remove the steering wheel pad.
(See page SR-1 1)
(c) Start the engine and run it at idle.
(d) Measure the steering effort in both directions.
Reference (Maximum): 6.9 N´m (70 kgf´cm, 61 in.´lbf)
If steering effort is excessive, repair the power steering unit.
HINT:
Be sure to consider the tire type, pressure and contact surface
before making your diagnosis.
(e) Disconnect the PPS solenoid connector.
(f) Measure the steering effort in both directions and check
that the steering effort exceeds the reference value in (d),
and that the power assist is operating.
If steering effort is not heavier than (d), check the solenoid.
(g) Connect the connector.
(h) Torque the steering wheel set nut.
Torque: 35 N´m (360 kgf´cm, 26 ft´lbf)
(i) Install the steering wheel pad.
