b. Insert rack oil seal (inner) into rack assembly piston (rack Te f l o n
ring).
c. Push retainer to adjusting screw side by hand, and move the
rack assembly inside the gear housing assembly so that the
rack oil seal (inner) can be pressed against the gear housing
assembly.
d. Wrap an OHP sheet [approximately 70 mm (2.76 in)
100 mm
(3.94 in)]. Around the edge to avoid damaging rack oil seal
(outer). Install rack oil seal over sheet. Then, pull oil seal along
with OHP sheet until they pass rack edge, and remove OHP
sheet.
e. Install end cover assembly to rack edge, and move rack oil seal
(outer) until it contacts with gear housing assembly.
5. Tighten end cover assembly to specified torque using a 36 mm
(1.42 in) open head (suitable tool).
CAUTION:
Do not damage rack assembly. Replace it if damaged
because it may cause fluid leakage.
6. Crimp gear housing assembly at one point using a punch as
shown in the figure so as to prevent end cover assembly from
getting loose after tightening end cover assembly.
7. Apply power steering fluid to O-ring, and then install O-ring to
gear housing assembly.
8. Install gear-sub assembly to gear housing assembly.
9. Install EPS solenoid valve to gear-sub assembly.
10. Decide on the neutral position for the rack.
11. Install rear cover cap to gear sub-assembly.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the projection of rear cover cap is aligned
with the marking position of gear housing assembly.

screw until it reaches height “H” from gear housing assembly
measured before disassembling.
13. Move rack assembly 10 strokes throughout the full stroke so that
the parts can fit with each other.
14. Measure pinion rotating torque within
180 of neutral position
of the rack assembly using the preload gauge [SST] and preload
adapter [SST]. Stop the gear at the point where highest torque is
read.
15. Loosen adjusting screw and retighten to 5.4 Nꞏm (0.55 kg-m, 48
in-lb), and then loosen by 20 to 40
.
16. Measure pinion rotating torque using the preload adapter [SST]
and preload gauge [SST] to make sure that the measured value
is within the standard. Readjust if the value is outside the stan-
dard. Replace steering gear assembly if the value is outside the
standard after readjusting or adjusting screw rotating torque is 5
Nꞏm (0.51 kg-m, 44 in-lb) or less.
17. Apply Genuine Liquid Gasket, Three Bound 1111B or equivalent to inner socket and turn pinion fully to left
with inner socket installed to gear housing assembly.
18. Set dial gauge as shown in the figure. Measure vertical move-
ment of rack assembly when pinion is turned clockwise with
torque of 19.6 Nꞏm (2.0 kg-m, 14 ft-lb). Readjust adjusting screw
angle if the measured value is outside the standard. Replace
steering gear assembly if the measured value is still outside the
standard or adjusting screw rotating torque is 5 Nꞏm (0.51 kg-m,
44 in-lb) or less.

not contact with boot.
CAUTION:
Keep gap from cylinder tube 5 mm (0.20 in) or more.
23. Install cylinder tubes to gear housing assembly.
24. Adjust inner socket to standard length “L”, and then tighten lock
nut to the specified torque. Refer to PS-20, "

Check length of inner socket “L” again after tightening lock nut.
Make sure that the length is the standard.
CAUTION:
Adjust toe-in after this procedure. Length achieved after
toe-in adjustment is not necessary the above value.

On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceNGS000DE
CHECKING RELIEF OIL PRESSURE
CAUTION:
Make sure that belt tension is normal before starting the following procedure.
1. Connect the hydraulic pressure gauge [SST] between oil pump
discharge connector and high-pressure hose. Bleed air from the
hydraulic circuit while opening valve fully. Refer to PS-8, "
Air
Bleeding Hydraulic System" .
2. Start engine. Run engine until oil temperature reaches 50 to
80
C (122 to 176F).
CAUTION:
Leave the valve of the hydraulic pressure gauge [SST]
fully open while starting and running engine. If engine is
started with the valve closed, the hydraulic pressure in
oil pump goes up to the relief pressure along with
unusual increase of oil temperature.
Be sure to keep hose clear of belts and other parts when
engine is started.
3. Fully close the hydraulic pressure gauge [SST] valve with
engine at idle and measure the relief oil pressure.
CAUTION:
Never keep valve closed for 10 seconds or longer.
4. Open the valve slowly after measuring. Repair oil pump is the
relief oil pressure is outside the standard. Refer to PS-30, "
Dis-
assembly and Assembly (Models with VK45DE)" , PS-34, "Disassembly and Assembly (Models with
VQ35DE)" .
5. After inspection, disconnect the hydraulic pressure gauge [SST] from hydraulic circuit, then add fluid and
bleed air. Refer to PS-8, "
Air Bleeding Hydraulic System" .
Removal and InstallationNGS000DF
REMOVAL
1. Drain power steering fluid from reservoir tank.
2. Remove undercover from vehicle with a power tool.
3. Loosen drive belt. Refer to EM-15, "
DRIVE BELTS" (VQ35DE), EM-174, "DRIVE BELTS" (VK45DE).
4. Remove drive belt from oil pump pulley.
5. Remove piping of high pressure and low pressure (drain fluid from their pipings). Refer to PS-38,
"HYDRAULIC LINE" .
6. Remove oil pump mounting bolts, and then remove power steering oil pump. Refer to PS-38, "
Compo-
nents" .
INSTALLATION
Installation is the reverse order of removal. For tightening torque, refer to PS-38, "HYDRAULIC LINE" .
Perform the following procedure after installing.
–Adjust belt tension (VQ35DE). Refer to EM-15, "Tension Adjustment" .
–About the installation of VK45DE drive belt, refer to EM-174, "Tension Adjustment" .
