6. Remove front exhaust tube. Refer to EX-5, "Exploded View" (QR25DE), EX-10, "Exploded View"
(VQ35DE).
7. Disconnect the high and low pressure piping from the steering gear assembly.
8. Remove steering hydraulic piping bracket bolts from the steering gear assembly.
9. Remove bolts and nuts of steering gear assembly, then remove steering gear assembly from vehicle.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
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-
ment".
• Perform neutral position steering angle adjustment. Refer to BRC-58, "Work Procedure"
.
