1. Remove the pump housing.
Check the inner-to-outer rotor radial clearance
between the inner rotor (A) and outer rotor {B). lf
the inner-to-outer rotor radial clearance exceeds
the service limit, replace the oil pump.

Slip the lower end of the steering joint onto the
pinion shaft {D) (line up the bolt hole with the
groove (E) around the shaft), and loosely lnstallthe
lower joint bolt. Be sure that the lower joint bolt is
securely in the groove in the pinion shaft.
Pull on the steering joint to make su re that the
steering joint is fully seated. Then installthe upper
joint bolt, and tighten it to the specified torque.
Tighten the lower joint bolt to the specified torque.
Finish the installation, and note these items:
. Make sure the wire harness is routed and
fastened properly.
. Make sure the connectors are properly connected.. Reinstallthe steering wheel (see page 17-8).
. Reconnect the battery.- Do the power window control unitreset
