3. Remove tie-rod outer sockets and boots.
4. Loosen tie-rod inner socket by prying up staked portion, and
remove socket and spacer.
5. Remove retainer.
6. Use a 2 to 2.5 mm (0.079 to 0.098 in) diameter drill to com-
pletely remove staked portion of gear housing end.

7. Remove end cover assembly with a suitable tool.
8. Draw out rack assembly.
9. Remove rack seal ring.
Using a heat gun, heat rack seal to approximately 40°C
(104°F).
Remove rack seal ring.
Be careful not to damage rack.

10. Remove center bushing and rack oil seal using tape wrapped
socket and extension bar.
Do not scratch inner surfaces of pinion housing.
InspectionNJST0024Thoroughly clean all parts in cleaning solvent or DEXRONTMIII or
equivalent. Blow dry with compressed air, if available.
BOOTNJST0024S01Check condition of boot. If cracked excessively, replace it.
Check boots for accumulation of power steering fluid.
RACKNJST0024S02Thoroughly examine rack gear. If damaged, cracked or worn,
replace it.
GEAR SUB-ASSEMBLYNJST0024S03Check pinion gear. If it is worn or damaged, replace as a gear
sub-assembly.
Manually spin bearing. If torque variations or free play are
noted, replace as a gear sub-assembly.
GEAR HOUSING CYLINDERNJST0024S04Check gear housing cylinder bore for scratches or other damage.
Replace if necessary.

11. Check rack sliding force on vehicle as follows:
a. Install steering gear onto vehicle, but do not connect tie-rod to
knuckle arm.
b. Connect all piping and fill with steering fluid.
c. Start engine and bleed air completely.
d. Disconnect steering column lower joint from the gear.
e. Keep engine at idle and make sure steering fluid has reached
normal operating temperature.
f. Pull tie-rod slowly to move it from neutral position to±11 . 5 m m
(±0.453 in) at speed of 3.5 mm (0.138 in)/s. Check that rack
sliding force is within specification.
Average rack sliding force:
132 - 308 N (13.5 - 31.4 kg, 30 - 69 lb)
Maximum force deviation:
176 N (17.9 kg, 39 lb)
12. If rack sliding force is not within specification, readjust by
repeating adjustment procedure from the beginning.
13. If rack sliding force is still out of specification after
readjustment, gear assembly needs to be replaced.
