5. Disconnect the power steering gear assembly from the steering column
Remove the steering gear pinion shaft spline lock bolt on the universal joint yoke
6. Remove power steering gear assembly
Remove 4 steering gear assembly set bolts, remove the power steering gear assembly
7. Installation is in the reverse order of the removal
Notice:
(1) Insert the steering gear pinion shaft spline into the spline hole of the universal joint
yoke, make sure that the positions of the notch of the steering gear pinion shaft and the
lock bolt of the universal joint yoke are correct
(2) Secure the power steering gear with 4 bolts, torque: 63~93N.m
(3) Tighten the steering gear pinion shaft spline lock bolt on the universal joint yoke, torque:
22~34N.m
(4) Tighten the 4 set bolts of the boot band and boot torque: 16~26N.m
(5) Install the union thread of the power steering high and low pressure pipe to the power
steering gear, torque: 19~33N.m
(6) Connect the tie rod ball stud pin with the steering knuckle, make sure that the mating
surface of the tie rod ball stud pin and the steering knuckle is clean, tighten the slot nut,
torque: 27~39N.m. Install the cotter pin, make sure of the correct installation
(7) Add appropriate amount of specified power steering fluid, bleed the power steering sys-
tem
(8) Check the power steering pipeline system for leakage
(9) Check the front wheel alignment and front wheel left and right limit turn angle, adjust the
toe in if necessary and tighten the tie rod lock nut
