Draining and RefillingINFOID:0000000009461266
DRAINING
1. Disconnect the high and low pressure piping from power steering gear.
2. Drain power steering fluid into a suitable container.
REFILLING
1. Fill power steering reservoir while checking power steering fluid level.
2. Bleed air from power steering hydraulic system. Refer to ST-30, "Air Bleeding Hydraulic System"
.
3. Check for power steering fluid leaks.
Air Bleeding Hydraulic SystemINFOID:0000000009461267
AIR BLEEDING HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
If air bleeding is not complete, excessive noise in the power steering oil pump will be present.
1. Make sure engine is off.
2. Turn the steering wheel from the full right stop pos ition and then to full left stop position several times.
Repeat until bubbles are no longer being generated in the reservoir.
3. When the power steering fluid level lowers, refill the reservoir. CAUTION:
Do not allow the power steerin g fluid level to drop below
the hatching area.
4. Repeat steps one and two until the power steering fluid level stabilizes.
5. Start the engine and run at idle.
6. Turn the steering wheel from the full right stop pos ition and then to full left stop position several times.
Repeat until bubbles or fluid discoloration are no longer being generated in the reservoir.
7. When the power steering fluid level lowers, refill the reservoir.
8. Stop the engine.
9. Verify proper power steering fluid level. Power steering fluid level should be between the hatching area of the indicator on
the power steering reservoir tank cap.

CAUTION:
Do not reuse O-rings or copper sealing washers.
• When installing lower joint to steering gear assembly, follow the procedure listed below.
- Set rack of steering gear in the neutral position. NOTE:
To get the neutral position of rack, turn gear-sub a ssembly and measure the distance of inner socket, and
then measure the intermediat e position of the distance.
- Align rear cover cap projection (A) with the marking position (B) of
gear housing assembly.
- Install slit part of lower joint (C) aligning with the projection (A) of
rear cover cap (1). Make sure that the slit part of lower joint (C) is
aligned with both the projection (A) of rear cover cap (1) and the
marking position (B) of gear housing assembly.
• After installation, bleed air from the steering hydraulic system. Refer to ST-15, "Inspection"
.
• Perform final tightening of nuts and bolts on each part under
unladen conditions with tires on level ground when removing steer-
ing gear assembly.
• Check wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-7, "Inspection and Adjust-
