< REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION >
POWER STEERING OIL PUMP
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
 When installing suction hoses (1), refer to the figure.CAUTION:
 Never apply fluid to the hose (1) and tube (2).
 Insert hose securely until it contacts spool (A) of tube.
 Leave clearance (L) when installing clamp (3).
 When installing eye bolt (1) and copper washer (2) to oil pump (3), refer to the figure.
CAUTION:
 Never reuse copper washer.
 Apply power steering fluid to around copper washers, then
install eye bolt.
 Install eye bolt with eye join t (assembled to high pressure
hose) (B) protrusion (A) facing with pump side cutout, and
then tighten it to the specifi ed torque after tightening by
hand. Refer to ST-54, "
Exploded View".
 Securely insert harness connector to pressure sensor.
 About the installation of drive belt. Refer to EM-20,
"TensionAdjustment".
 Check fluid level, fluid leakage and air bleeding hydr aulic system after the installation. Refer to ST-30,
"Inspection".
Disassembly and AssemblyINFOID:0000000006225613
DISASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
 Fix oil pump with a vise if necessary.
 Use copper plates when fixing with a vise.
1. Perform inspection before disassembly. Refer to ST-52, "
Inspection".
2. Remove rear cover mounting bolts, and then remove rear cover from body assembly.
3. Remove gasket from body assembly.
4. Remove dowel pin, cartridge and side plate from body assembly.
5. Remove pulley mounting nut and washer, then remove pulley from drive shaft.
6. Remove snap ring from drive shaft and press out it. CAUTION:
When removing snap ring, be careful not to damage drive
shaft.
7. Remove oil seal from body assembly using a suitable tool.
8. Remove O-ring from body assembly.
9. Remove mounting bolts of suction pipe, and then remove suc- tion pipe and bracket from body assembly.
10. Remove connector bolt, and then remove O-ring, flow control
valve and spring from body assembly
11. Perform inspection after disassembly. Refer to ST-52, "
Inspec-
tion".
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
 Fix oil pump with a vise if necessary.
 Use copper plates when fixing with a vise.L : 3 – 8 mm (0.12 – 0.31 in)

1. Connect the oil pressure gauge [SST: KV48103500 (J-26357)] and the oil pressure gauge adapter [SST: KV48102500 (J-
33914)] between oil pump discharge connector and high-pres-
sure hose. Bleed air from the hydraulic circuit while opening
valve fully. Refer to ST-30, "
Inspection".
2. Start engine. Run engine until oil temperature reaches 50 to 80°C (122 to 176 °F).
CAUTION:
 Leave the valve of the oil pressure gauge 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 oil pressure gauge 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 if the relief oil pressure is outside the standard. Refer to ST-50, "
Disassembly and Assembly".
5. Disconnect the oil pressure gauge from hydraulic circuit.
6. When installing eye bolt (1) and copper washer (2) to oil pump (3), refer to the figure.
CAUTION:
 Never reuse copper washers.
 Apply power steering fluid to around copper washer, theninstall eye bolt.
 Install eye bolt with eye join t (assembled to high pressure
hose) (B) protrusion (A) facing with pump side cutout, and
then tighten it to the specifi ed torque after tightening by
hand. Refer to ST-54, "
Exploded View".
 Securely insert harness connector to pressure sensor.
7. Check fluid level, fluid leakage and air bleeding hydraulic sys- tem after the installation. Refer to ST-30, "
Inspection".
Relief oil pressure : Refer to
ST-58, "
Relief Oil Pres-
sure".
