valve is replaced with a new one, add two or three
shims, install valve on pinion housing and tighten
with two bolts to 25±5 N´m (2.5±0.5 kg-m, 18.1±3.6

body and valve housing using a thickness gauge.
Remove shims so that the clearance is zero.

3) Remove one pipe joint at the center of gearbox,
and connect vinyl hose to pipe and joint. Discharge
fluid by turning steering wheel fully clockwise and
counterclockwise. Discharge fluid similarly from
the other pipe.
CAUTION:
Improper removal and installation of parts
often causes fluid leak trouble. To prevent this,
clean the surrounding portions before disas-
sembly and reassembly, and pay special atten-
tion to keep dirt and other foreign matter from
mating surfaces.

1) Feed the specified fluid with its level being
about 5 cm (2.0 in) lower than the mouth of tank.
2) Continue to turn steering wheel slowly from lock

while keeping the fluid at that level.
3) In case air is absorbed to deliver bubbles into

It is normal that bubbles stop appearing after three
times turning of steering wheel.
6) In case bubbles do not stop appearing in the
