end dust cover. Coat lower edge of cup with packing sealer. Install
tie rod ends into adjusting sleeves.
2) Measure center-to-center distance between tie rod studs
for both tie rod assemblies. Adjust center-to-center distance to
specification. See TIE ROD INSTALLATION LENGTH table.
3) An equal number of threads should be visible on each side
of adjusting sleeve. Install tie rod ends in steering knuckle and
relay rod. Install tie rod end castle nuts and NEW cotter pins.
Tighten castle nuts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.
Adjust toe-in. See WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS & PROCEDURES article

Disassembly
1) Scribe mating marks on pitman arm and cross shaft. Remove
pitman arm nut. Using a puller, remove pitman arm. Drain power
steering fluid. Remove side cover bolts. See Fig. 3. Loosen adjusting
bolt lock nut, and screw in adjusting bolt so side cover raises
slightly.
2) With mainshaft and cross shaft placed in straight-ahead
position, tap bottom of cross shaft with plastic hammer. Remove cross
shaft and side cover as an assembly. Remove side cover from cross
shaft by turning adjusting bolt.
3) Remove valve housing and rack piston as an assembly by
turning rack piston counterclockwise. See Fig. 3. Carefully remove
rack piston from mainshaft without losing balls inside rack piston.
4) Remove cross shaft oil seal from gearbox housing. Put rack
piston in soft jawed vise. Using Spanner Wrench (MB991367) and Pin Set\
(MB991394), remove lock nut. Remove mainshaft while applying pressure
to bearing race to prevent balls from falling out. Drive out bearing
and oil seal.
NOTE: DO NOT remove cross shaft "U" packing at rear of needle
bearing unless fluid leakage is found coming from adjusting
bolt threads. If leakage exists, replace "U" packing.

damage. Inspect groove of rotor vane and cam surface for stepped wear.
Check vane for damage. Install vane into rotor groove. Measure
clearance between vane and rotor groove. If clearance exceeds .0024"
(.061 mm), replace entire assembly.
2) Check ring and rotor sides for damage. Replace entire
assembly if any damage is present. Check sliding surfaces of control
valve for obstructions. Replace parts as required. If control valve is
replaced, always use valve with same identification mark as one being
replaced. Check power steering fluid pressure.
Reassembly
1) Lubricate "O" rings and internal pump components with ATF
before reassembly. Install flow control valve spring and control valve
in housing.
2) Install and tighten pressure connector. Depress control
valve to check for smooth operation. Apply grease to lip of oil seal.
Install oil seal into pump body. Install pulley assembly into pump
body.
3) Install rotor to pulley assembly with punch mark at pump
cover side. Install snap ring. Lift rotor to ensure that snap ring is
in countersunk part of shaft. Align cam ring dowel holes and install
cam ring with punch mark on pump body side.
4) Apply transmission fluid to vanes, and install vanes onto
rotor with rounded edges outward. Install "O" ring, cam case and pump
cover. Install and tighten suction connector.
