21. Install new boot clamps and crimp securely.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse boot clamps.
22. Install cylinder tubes to gear housing assembly.
23. Install lock nut and outer socket to inner socket.
24. Tighten lightly tie-rod in specified length “L”, then tighten lock nut
at specified torque. Refer to PS-17, "
Disassembly and Assem-
bly" . Reconfirm if tie-rod length is within limit of specified length
“L”.
CAUTION:
Perform toe-in adjustment after this procedure. Length
achieved after toe-in adjustment is not necessarily the
value given here.

On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceEGS000UJ
CHECKING RELIEF OIL PRESSURE
CAUTION:
Before starting work, confirm belt tension is proper.
1. Connect Tool between oil pump discharge connector and high
pressure hose and then bleed air from the hydraulic circuit.
2. Start engine. Allow engine to run until tank temperature reaches 50 – 80°C (122 – 176°F).
CAUTION:

Warm up engine with shut-off valve fully opened. If engine is started with shut-off valve closed,
fluid pressure in power steering pump increases to maximum. This will raise fluid temperature
excessively.

Be careful not to contact hose with belt when engine is started.
3. With engine at idle, close shut-off valve and read the relief oil pressure.
CAUTION:
Do not close shut-off valve of pressure gauge for more than 10 seconds.
4. After measurement, open shut-off valve slowly.

If relief oil pressure is outside the specification, disassemble and repair oil pump. Refer to PS-17, "Dis-
assembly and Assembly" .
5. After inspection, disconnect oil pressure gauge and oil pressure gauge adapter from hydraulic circuit, con-
nect oil pump discharge connector and high pressure hose. Add fluid and bleed air from hydraulic circuit
thoroughly. Refer to PS-6, "
Air Bleeding Hydraulic System" .
Removal and InstallationEGS000UK
REMOVAL
1. Drain power steering fluid from reservoir tank.
2. Remove engine room cover. Refer to EM-11, "
Removal and Installation" .
3. Remove air duct assembly. Refer to EM-14, "
Removal and Installation" .
4. Remove power steering reservoir tank.
5. Remove serpentine drive belt belt from auto tensioner and power steering pump. Refer to EM-12,
"Removal and Installation" .
6. Disconnect pressure sensor electrical connector.
7. Remove high pressure and low pressure piping from power steering oil pump. Refer to PS-31, "
HYDRAU-
LIC LINE" .
8. Remove mounting bolts, then remove power steering pump.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal. Refer to PS-31, "HYDRAULIC LINE" for tightening torque.

After installation, bleed air. Refer to PS-6, "Air Bleeding Hydraulic System" .
NOTE:
Belt tension is automatic and requires no adjustment.

6. Remove snap ring from drive shaft assembly, then press out
drive shaft assembly.
CAUTION:
When removing snap ring, be careful not to damage drive
shaft assembly.
7. Using a screwdriver, remove oil seal from body assembly.
8. Remove O-ring from body assembly.
9. Remove connector bolt, then flow control valve and spring from
body assembly.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to drop and deform the flow control valve.
10. Remove suction pipe from body assembly.
11. Remove O-ring for suction pipe.
INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Body Assembly and Rear Cover Inspection

Check body assembly and the inside of rear cover for damage. If any damage is found, replace with new
part for rear cover and replace with new power steering pump assembly for body assembly.
Cartridge Assembly Inspection

Check cam ring, side plate, rotor and vane for damage. If any damage is found, replace cartridge assem-
bly with new one.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
When retaining drive shaft assembly in a vise, always use copper or aluminum plates between vise
and shaft.
NOTE:
Mount the oil pump in a vise as needed.
1. Apply a coat of Genuine NISSAN PSF or equivalent to oil seal lip and to the circumference of oil seal.
Refer to MA-11, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS" .
