    *1 O-ring
    *2 Ring
    *3 Oil Seal
    *4 Snap Ring
    *5 Spacer

    1. Coat new the spacer and O-ring, ring with power steering fluid.

    2. Install the O-ring, spacer and ring.

    3. Using a snap ring pliers, install a new snap ring.

    4. Coat new oil seal with power steering fluid.

    5. Install oil seal to the gear housing.

  2. INSTALL O-RING

    A01KHHS

    1. Coat a power piston, dust seal and a new O-ring with power steering fluid.

    2. A01KHNK

      Snug the dust seal down with the piston ring compressor for 5 - 7 minutes.

  3. INSTALL VALVE HOUSING ASSEMBLY

    A01KFOO

    1. Using a plastic hammer and a sliding handle, lightly tap in 2 new union seat.

      Note

      Before installing the union seat, remove dust sticking to the control valve housing.

    2. Mount the gear housing on SST and clamp SST in a vise.

    3. A01KFMOE01

      Using SST, install the power piston assembly unit holding the power piston by your finger.

      SST
      09616-00011

    4. Install the 4 bolts.

      Torque:
      46 N*m  { 470 kgf*cm, 34 ft.*lbf }

  4. INSPECT PRELOAD

    A01KF9LE01

    1. Using SST, check the power piston rotating torque.

      SST
      09616-00011
      Rotating torque
      0.29 - 0.54 N*m (3.0 - 5.51 kgf*cm, 2.58 - 4.75 in.*lbf)

      If the rotating torque is not within the limits or the difference between clockwise and counterclockwise rotating torque is over 0.54 N*m (5.51 kgf*cm, 4.75 in.*lbf), replace the power steering gear assembly.

  5. INSTALL SIDE COVER

    A01KHH8

    1. Set the power piston at the center of the shaft.

    2. To prevent oil seal and O-ring from damage, wind vinyl tape on the serrated part of the sector shaft.

    3. Install and push the sector shaft into the gear housing so that the center teeth mesh together.

    4. Install the sector shaft side cover with the 4 bolts.

      Torque:
      46 N*m  { 470 kgf*cm, 34 ft.*lbf }

  6. INSPECT TOTAL PRELOAD

    A01KG7LE01

    1. Using SST, turn the power piston shaft to full lock in both direction and determine the exact center.

      SST
      09616-00011
    2. A01KFURE01

      *a Matchmark

      Align the matchmarks on the power piston shaft and end cover of the power piston assembly to show neutral position.

    3. A01KH2LE01

      Install SST with a torque wrench in the power piston shaft.

      SST
      09616-00011

    4. Using a screw driver, turn the sector shaft adjusting screw until the preload is within specification.

      Preload (turning)
      0.49 - 0.93 N*m (5.0 - 9.5 kgf*cm, 4.3 - 8.2 in.*lbf)
    5. A01KI5I

      Using a screw driver, hold the adjusting screw and torque the lock nut.

      Torque:
      46 N*m  { 469 kgf*cm, 33 ft.*lbf }

    6. Recheck the total preload.

      Preload (turning)
      0.49 - 0.93 N*m (5.0 - 9.5 kgf*cm, 4.3 - 8.2 in.*lbf)
