INSPECTION
1. INSPECT RELIEF VALVE
Coat the valve with engine oil and check that it falls smoothly
into the valve hole by its own weight.
If it does not, replace the relief valve. If necessary, replace the
oil pump assembly.
2. PLACE DRIVE AND DRIVEN ROTORS INTO OIL PUMP
BODY
Place the drive and driven rotors into the oil pump body with the
mark facing upward.
3. INSPECT ROTOR SIDE CLEARANCE
Using a feeler gauge and precision straight edge, measure the
clearance between the rotors and precision straight edge.
Standard side clearance:
0.030 - 0.090 mm (0.0012 - 0.0035 in.)
Maximum side clearance: 0.15 mm (0.0059 in.)
If the side clearance is greater than maximum, replace the ro-
tors as a set. If necessary, replace the oil pump assembly.
4. INSPECT ROTOR TIP CLEARANCE
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the drive
and driven rotor tips.
Standard tip clearance:
0.110 - 0.240 mm (0.0043 - 0.0094 in.)
Maximum tip clearance: 0.35 mm (0.0138 in.)
If the tip clearance is greater than maximum, replace the rotors
as a set.
5. INSPECT ROTOR BODY CLEARANCE
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the driv-
en rotor and body.
Standard body clearance:
0.250 - 0.325 mm (0.0098 - 0.0128 in.)
Maximum body clearance: 0.40 mm (0.0157 in.)
If the body clearance is greater than maximum, replace the ro-
tors as a set. If necessary, replace the oil pump assembly.

(e) Install the SST.
CAUTION:
Place the disc wheel on the level ground.
(1) Connect the connector of the SST to the steering
wheel pad connector.
SST 09082-00700, 09082-00760
NOTICE:
To avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness,
do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock. Also, se-
cure some slack for the SST wire harness inside the disc
wheel.
(2) Move the SST to at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the
steering wheel pad tied down on the disc wheel.
(f) Cover the steering wheel pad with a cardboard box or
tires.
Covering method using a cardboard box:
Cover the steering wheel pad with the cardboard
box and weight the cardboard box down in 4 places
with at least 190 N (20 kg, 44 lb).
Size of cardboard box:
Must exceed the following dimensions:
X = 460 mm (18.11 in.)
Y = 650 mm (25.59 in.)
NOTICE:
When dimension Y of the cardboard box exceeds the
diameter of the disc wheel with tire to which the steer-
ing wheel pad is tied, X should be the following size.
X = 460 mm (18.11 in.) + width of tire
If a cardboard box smaller than the specified size is
used, the cardboard box will be broken by the shock
from the airbag deployment.

3. INSPECT FLOW CONTROL VALVE
(a) Coat the flow control valve with power steering fluid and
check that it falls smoothly into the flow control valve hole
by its own weight.
(b) Check the flow control valve for leakage. Close one of the
holes and apply 392 - 490 kPa (4 - 5 kgf/cm
2, 57 - 71 psi)
of compressed air into the opposite side hole, and confirm
that air does not come out from the end holes.
If necessary, replace the flow control valve with the one having
the same letter as inscribed on the front housing.
Inscribed Mark: A, B, C, D, E or F

REMOVAL
NOTICE:
The hub bearing could be damaged if it is subjected
to the vehicle weight, such as when moving the ve-
hicle with the drive shaft removed.
Therefore, if it is absolutely necessary to place the ve-
hicle weight on the hub bearing, first support it with
SST.
SST 09608-16042 (09608-02021, 09608-02041)
After disconnecting the drive shaft from the axle hub,
work carefully so as not to damage the ABS speed
sensor rotor serration on the drive shaft.
