1.Move the tilt lever from the loose position to the
lock position 3 to 5 times; then measure the tilt
lever preload 10 mm (0.4 in) from the end of the tilt
rever.
Preload: 70 - 90 N (7 - 9 kgf, 15 - 20 lbf)
lf the measurement is out of the specification.
adjust the preload using the tollowing procedures.
a. Loosen the tilt lever, and set the steering column
in the neutral position.
b, Remove the 6 mm lock bolt. and remove the
stop. Be careful not to loosen the tilt lever when
installing the stop or tightening the 6 mm lock

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:

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.
CONTROL VALVE
4. Attach a hose to the end of the valve as shown.

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.

Reassembly (cont'd)
Apply power steering fluid to the surface of the spe-
cial tool. Set the new seal rings over the special tool
from the smaller diameter end of the tool. and
expand the seal rings. Install two rings at a time
Jrom each end ofthe sleeve.
Note these items when installing the seal ring:
. Do not over-expand the seal ring. Install the resin
seal rings with care so as not to damage them.
After installation, be sure to contract the seal
rings using the specialtool {sizing tool).
. There are two types of sleeve seal rings: black
and brown. Do not mix the different types of
sleeve seal rings as they are not compatible.
Align the special tool with each groove in the sleeve,
and slide a sleeve seal ring into each groove. After
installation, compress the seal rings with your fin-
gers temporarily.

Note these items during reassembly:
. Be caretul not to damage the valve seal ring
when inserting the sleeve.
. Install the circlip with its radiused side facing out.
Apply power steering fluid to the seal ring lip of the
valve oil seal. then install the seal in the valve hous-
ing using a hydraulic press and special tools. Install
