DISASSEMBLY
NOTE:
Secure oil pump in a vise if necessary.
CAUTION:
Use copper plates when securing in a vise.
1. Remove rear cover mounting bolts, and then remove rear cover from body assembly.
2. Remove O-ring from body assembly.
3. Remove rear side plate from cartridge, and then remove Teflon ring and O-ring from rear side plate.
4. Remove rotor snap ring using a snap ring plier, and remove pul-
ley from body assembly.
CAUTION:
Remove pulley so as not to be damaged when removing
rotor snap ring.
5. Remove cartridge, front side plate, flow control valve A, flow
control valve spring and flow control valve B assembly from
body assembly.
CAUTION:
Do not drop and damage flow control valve A and flow con-
trol valve B assembly when removing.
6. Remove oil seal from body assembly.
7. Remove suction pipe from body assembly.
8. Remove O-ring from body assembly.
9. Remove bracket mounting bolts, and then remove bracket from
body assembly.
INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Body Assembly and Rear Cover Inspection
Check body assembly and rear cover for internal damage. Replace rear cover if it is damaged. Replace oil
pump assembly if body assembly is damaged.
Cartridge Assembly Inspection
Check cam ring, rotor and vane for damage. Replace cartridge assembly if there are.
Side Plate Inspection
Check side plates (front and rear) for damage. Side plates (front and rear) must be replaced as a set if they
are damaged.
Flow Control Valve Inspection
Check flow control valve A, flow control valve spring and flow control valve B assembly for damage. Replace if

ASSEMBLY
NOTE:
Secure oil pump in a vise if necessary.
CAUTION:
Use copper plates when securing in a vise.
1. Apply multi purpose grease to oil seal lips. Apply power steering
fluid to around oil seal, and then install oil seal to body assembly
using the drift [SST].
2. Install bracket to body assembly, and then tighten mounting
bolts to the specified torque.
3. If dowel pin has been removed, insert it into body assembly by
hand. If cannot be inserted by hand, lightly tap with a hammer.
4. Install flow control valve A, flow control valve spring and flow
control valve B assembly as shown in the figure.
5. Install front side plate (3) with dowel pin (2) on flow control valve
A (1) side as shown in the figure aligning with front side plate
cutout (A) to body assembly (4).
6. Install cam ring as shown in the figure.
7. Install pulley to body assembly.
CAUTION:
Do not damage oil seal when installing pulley.

8. Install rotor so that mark faces body assembly, and then install it
to pulley shaft.
9. Install vane to rotor so that arc of vane faces cam ring side.
10. Install rotor snap ring to slit of pulley shaft using a hammer and a
10 mm (0.39 in) socket.

side as shown in the figure aligning with rear side plate cutout B
to cartridge.
12. Apply power steering fluid to O-ring, and then install O-ring to
body assembly.
13. Apply power steering fluid to O-ring, and then install O-ring to
rear side plate.
14. Apply power steering fluid to Teflon ring, and then install Te f l o n
ring to rear side plate.
15. Install rear cover to body assembly, and then tighten mounting
bolts to the specified torque.
16. Apply power steering fluid to O-ring, and then install O-ring to body assembly.
17. Install suction pipe to body assembly.
