GEAR
DESCRIPTION
The power steering gear is a recirculating ball type
gear (Fig. 1) .
The following gear components can be serviced:
²Pitman Shaft and Cover
²Pitman Shaft Bearings
²Pitman Shaft Oil Seal/Dust Seal
²Stud Shaft Housing with Seal
²O-Rings and Teflon Rings
NOTE: If rack piston assembly is damaged the gear
must be replaced.
OPERATION
The gear acts as a rolling thread between the
worm shaft and rack piston. The worm shaft is sup-
ported by a thrust bearing at the lower end and a
bearing assembly at the upper end. When the worm
shaft is turned the rack piston moves. The rack pis-
ton teeth mesh with the pitman shaft. Turning the
worm shaft turns the pitman shaft, which turns the
steering linkage.
REMOVAL
(1) Place the front wheels in the straight ahead
position with the steering wheel centered and locked.
(2) Remove the air cleaner housing,(Refer to 9 -
ENGINE/AIR INTAKE SYSTEM/AIR CLEANER
HOUSING - REMOVAL).
(3) Drain or siphon the power steering system.(4) Remove the pressure and return lines (Fig.
2)from the steering gear. Refer to hose removal in
this section.
(5) Remove the column coupler shaft bolt (Fig.
2)and remove the shaft from the gear.
(6) Raise and support the vehicle.
(7) Remove the left front wheel and tire assembly.
(8) Remove the pitman arm from gear with Puller
C-4150A.
(9) Remove the windshield washer reservoir,(Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/WIPERS/WASHERS/WASHER
RESERVOIR - REMOVAL).
(10) Remove the steering gear mounting bolts.
Remove the steering gear out of the engine compart-
ment (Fig. 3).
INSTALLATION
(1) Position the steering gear on the frame rail and
install the bolts. Tighten the bolts to 108 N´m (80 ft.
lbs.) torque.
(2) Install the pitman arm and tighten nut to 251
N´m (185 ft. lbs.).
(3) Install windshield washer reservoir,(Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/WIPERS/WASHERS/WASHER RES-
ERVOIR - INSTALLATION).
(4) Install the wheel and tire assembly.
(5) Remove the support and lower the vehicle.
(6) Install the pressure and return hoses to the
steering gear and tighten to 20-38 N´m (14-28 ft.
lbs.).
(7) Install the column coupler shaft.
(8) Install the air cleaner housing,(Refer to 9 -
ENGINE/AIR INTAKE SYSTEM/AIR CLEANER
HOUSING - INSTALLATION).

ADJUSTMENTS
STEERING GEAR
NOTE: Adjusting the steering gear in the vehicle is
not recommended. Remove gear from the vehicle
and drain the fluid. Then mount gear in a vise to
perform adjustments.
OVER-CENTER
(1) Rotate the stub shaft with Socket 8343 from
stop to stop and count the number of turns.
(2) Center the stub shaft by rotating it from the
stop 1/2 of the total amount of turns.
(3) Place torque wrench and Socket 8343 in a ver-
tical position on the stub shaft. Rotate the wrench 45
degrees each side of the center and record the high-
est rotational torque in this range (Fig. 4) . This is
the Over-Center Rotating Torque.
NOTE: The stub shaft must rotate smoothly without
sticking or binding.
(4) Rotate the stub shaft between 90É and 180É to
the left of center and record the left off-center pre-
load. Repeat this to the right of center and record the
right off-center preload. The average of these two
recorded readings is the Preload Rotating Torque.
(5) The Over-Center Rotating Torque should be
0.45-0.80 N´m (4-7 in. lbs.)higherthan the Preload
Rotating Torque.
(6) If an adjustment to the Over-Center Rotating
Torque is necessary, first loosen the adjuster lock
nut. Then turn the pitman shaft adjuster screw back
(COUNTERCLOCKWISE) until fully extended, then
turn back in (CLOCKWISE) one full turn.
(7) Remeasure Over-Center Rotating Torque. If
necessary turn the adjuster screw and repeat mea-
surement until correct Over-Center Rotating Torque
is reached.
NOTE: To increase the Over-Center Rotating Torque
turn the screw CLOCKWISE.(8) Prevent the adjuster screw from turning while
tightening adjuster lock nut. Tighten the adjuster
lock nut to 37-52 N´m (27-38 ft. lbs.).
