Deformed or damaged pulley

Poor performance
DISASSEMBLY
NOTE:
Fix oil pump in vise as the occasion demands.
CAUTION:
When retaining drive shaft in a vise, always use copper or aluminium plates between vise and shaft.
1. Unscrew two front bracket bolts and remove bracket from body assembly.
2. Unscrew four cover assembly bolts and remove cover assembly from body assembly.
3. Remove O-ring A from body assembly.
4. Remove rotor snap ring with snap ring pliers, and remove shaft
kit from body assembly.
CAUTION:
When removing rotor snap ring, be careful not to damage
pulley shaft of shaft kit.
5. Using a screwdriver, remove oil seal for body assembly.
6. Remove cam ring, rotor, vane, side plate, O-ring B and O-ring C
from body assembly.
7. Remove plug, then remove O-ring D, flow control valve spring,
relief valve assembly and flow control value assembly from body
assembly.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to drop and deform relief valve assembly and
flow control valve assembly.
8. Remove fixing bolt of suction connector assembly, then remove
suction connector assembly and O-ring E from body assembly.
INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Body Assembly and Cover Assembly Inspection

Check body assembly and cover assembly for damage. If any damage is found, replace with new part for
cover assembly, 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.
Relief Valve Assembly Inspection

Check relief valve assembly for damage. If any damage is found, replace it with new one.

and to the circumference of oil seal. Using proper tool such as
hand press machine, install it to the body assembly.
NOTE:
Do not reuse oil seal.
2. Install shaft kit to body assembly.
3. Apply recommended fluid to O-ring B and O-ring C, then install
O-ring B and O-ring C to body assembly.
NOTE:
Do not reuse O-ring B and O-ring C.
4. Set dowel pin at the illustration position (The position is the
same regardless of right or left direction), and install side plate to
body assembly.
5. Install cam ring on side plate as follows;

Turn chamfered edge side of cam ring to side plate as shown
in the figure.

Position large chamfered side of cam ring as shown in the fig-
ure.
