STUB SHAFT SEALS AND UPPER
AND LOWER BEARING
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 with a wrench, remove
the locknut from the pinion.
4. With the gear centered, mark the location of the
stub shaft notch on the housing to aid in properly
installing the valve and pinion assembly.
5. Remove the stub shaft retaining ring and, using an
arbor press, press on the threaded end of the pin-
ion until it is possible to remove the pinion and
valve assembly from the housing.

2. Install the lower valve assembly bearing and the
bushing.
3. Center the rack in the housing.
4. Install the the valve assembly, the stub shaft bear-
ing annulus assembly and a new stub shaft dust
seal into the housing.
Important : When the valve and pinion assembly is fully
seated in the housing, be sure that the notch in the stub
shaft and the mark on the housing line up.
Notice : If the stub shaft is not held, damage to the pinion
teeth will occur.
5. While holding the stub shaft, install the locknut onto
the pinion shaft.
Tighten
Tighten the pinion locknut to 30 NSm (22 lb–ft).
6. Replace the dust cover onto the housing.

RACK BEARING
Tools Required
J–42459 Rack Guide Spring Cap Wrench
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 adjuster plug locknut from the adjuster
plug, and remove the adjuster plug from the hous-
ing with the rack guide spring cap wrench J–42459,
or with a 19 mm allen wrench.
3. Remove the adjuster spring and the rack bearing.
Assembly Procedure
1. Coat the rack bearing, the adjuster spring and the
adjuster plug with lithium–based grease and install
them into the housing.
2. With the rack centered, turn the adjuster plug clock-
wise until a torque of 7 NSm (62 lb–in) is obtained,
then back it off by 30 to 40 degrees. Check the pin-
ion torque. Maximum pinion preloaded torque is 1
NSm (9 lb–in).
3. Thread the locknut on the adjuster plug and tighten
it.
Tighten
Tighten the adjuster plug locknut to 75 NSm (56 lb–ft)
while holding the adjuster plug stationary with the rack
guide spring cap wrench J–42459 or with a 19 mm al-
len wrench.
4. Install the rack and pinion assembly. Refer to ”Rack
and Pinion Assembly” in this section.
