3. Remove the power steering gear. Refer to ”Rack
and Pinion Assembly” in this section.
4. Loosen the locknut and turn the adjuster plug clock-
wise until a torque of 7 NSm (62 lb–in) is obtained,
then loosen it by 30 to 40 degrees. Check the pin-
ion torque. Maximum pinion preloaded torque is 1
NSm (9 lb–in).
5. Tighten the locknut on the adjuster plug while hold-
ing the adjuster plug stationary.
6. Install the power steering gear. Refer to ”Rack and
Pinion Assembly” in this section.
7. Be sure to check the returnability of the steering
wheel to center position after adjustment.
Tighten
Tighten the adjuster plug locknut to 75 NSm (56 lb–ft).
VALVE AND PINION
Disassembly Procedure
1. Remove the rack and pinion steering assembly
from the vehicle. Refer to ”Rack and Pinion Assem-
bly” in this section.
2. Remove the dust cover from the lower end of the
housing.
Notice : If the stub shaft is not held, damage to the pinion
teeth will occur.
3. While holding the stub shaft, remove the locknut
from the pinion.

6C – 32IPOWER STEERING GEAR
DAEWOO V–121 BL4
Assembly Procedure
Notice : Coat all of the seals and bushings with power
steering fluid to ensure proper sealing.
1. Install the bushing and a new lower pinion valve
seal.
Important : When the valve and pinion assembly is fully
seated in the housing, be sure the notch in the stub shaft
and the mark on the housing line up. If this is not done the
vehicle will not pass the straight–ahead check and will
have poor steering performance.
2. Install the valve and pinion assembly, the stub shaft
bearing annulus assembly and the stub shaft dust
seal.
Notice : If the stub shaft is not held, damage to the pinion
teeth will occur.
3. While holding the stub shaft, tighten the locknut
onto the pinion shaft.
Tighten
Tighten the pinion locknut to 30 NSm (22 lb–ft).
4. Replace the dust cover onto the housing.
5. Install the rack and pinion steering assembly. Refer
to ”Rack and Pinion Assembly” in this section.
6. Perform the straight–ahead check. Refer to
”Straight–Ahead Check” in this section.
