(j) Disconnect  the SST.
SST 09640- 10010 (09641- 01010, 09641- 01020,
09641-01030)
(k) Connect  the pressure feed tube assy to the rack & pinion
power steering gear assy (See page 51-21).
(l) Bleed the power steering system.
5. CHECK STEERING EFFORT
(a) Center the steering wheel assy.
(b) Remove the horn button assy (See page 60-22).
(c) Start the engine and run it at idle.
(d) Using a torque wrench, measure the steering effort in
both directions.
Steering effort (Reference):
6 N´m (60 kgf´cm, 53 in.´lbf) or less
HINT:
Take the tire type, pressure and contact surface into consider-
ation before making your diagnosis.
(e) Install the steering wheel assy set nut.
Torque: 50 N´m (510 kgf´cm, 37 ft´lbf)
(f) Install the horn button assy (See page 60-22).
(g) Inspect SRS warning light (See page 05-818).
