19. Use preload gauge. Measure pinion rotation torque within ±180°
of neutral position of the gear. Stop the gear at the point where
highest torque is read.
20. Loosen adjusting screw and retighten to 4.9 - 5.9 N·m (0.50 -
0.60 kg-m, 44 - 52 in-lb), and then loosen by 60 - 80°(140-
176°F).
21. With adjusting screw held in place, tighten lock nut to 40 - 58
N·m (4.0 - 6.0 kg-m, 29 - 43 ft-lb).
22. Using a preload gauge, measure rotational torque of pinion gear.
Check that reading is within range specified. If reading is outside
specification, readjust rack. If reading is still outside specifica-
tion, replace power steering gear.
23. With tie rod gear installed to gear assembly, turn pinion gear
fully to left.
24. Set dial gauge as shown in figure. Measure vertical movement
of rack when pinion is turned counterclockwise with torque of 4.9
N·m (0.5 kg-m, 43 in-lb). Check reading is within range speci-
fied. If reading is outside of specification, readjust rack. If read-
ing is still outside of specification, replace power steering gear.

25. Position boot band on large-diameter side before installing it.
26. Install small-diameter side of boot to inner socket boot mounting
groove.
27. Install boot band to small-diameter side of boot.
28. Install boot clamp.
a. Tighten large-diameter side of RH/LH boot with boot clamp
(stainless wire).
b. Wrap clamp around boot groove for two turns. Insert screwdriv-
ers in loops on both ends of wire. Twist 4 to 4.5 turns while pull-
ing them with force of approx. 98 N (10 kg, 22.1 lb).
c. Twist boot clamp as shown. Pay attention to relationship
between winding and twisting directions.
d. Twisted point should face front of vehicle with gear installed on
vehicle (to prevent interference with other parts).
e. After twisting wire 4 to 4.5 turns, bend cut end of wire. Cut end of
wire should not touch boot. Be sure wire end is at least 5 mm
(0.20 in) away from clearance for tube.

On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceEGS000AF
OIL PUMP PULLEY HYDRAULIC PRESSURE INSPECTION
Before starting following procedure, check tension of belt.
1. Raise vehicle. Connect oil pressure gauge between oil pump
discharge connector and high pressure hose. Then bleed the
hydraulic circuit.
2. Start engine. Run engine until oil temperature reaches 50°C -
80°C (122 - 176°F)
CAUTION:
●Leave valve of hydraulic pressure gauge fully open while
starting and running engine. If engine is started with
valve closed, hydraulic pressure in oil pump goes up.
This will relief pressure along with abnormal increase of
oil temperature.
●Care must be taken to keep hose clear of belt and other parts when engine is started.
3. Fully close hydraulic pressure gauge valve with engine at idle. Measure relief pressure.
4. After measurement, open valve slowly.
CAUTION:
Never keep valve closed for 15 seconds or longer.
●If relief pressure is outside specification, disassemble and service oil pump. Refer to PS-25, "Disas-
sembly and Assembly(QR20DE and QR25DE engine models)" .
5. After inspection, remove oil pressure gauge from hydraulic circuit. Add fluid. Be sure to bleed the system
completely. Refer to PS-5, "
Bleeding Hydraulic System"
Removal and Installation (QR20DE and QR25DE engine models)EGS000AG
REMOVAL
1. Loosen adjusting screw and oil pump mounting bolt. Then, remove belt.
2. Remove union bolt and hose for oil pump.
3. Remove oil pump bracket attaching bolt.
4. Remove oil pump from vehicle.
INSTALLATION
Paying attention to following items, install in the reverse order of removal.
●After installation, adjust belt tension. Refer to EM-12, "DRIVE BELTS" .
●After installation, be sure to bleed system. Refer to PS-5, "Bleeding Hydraulic System" . Relief pressure specification:
8,140 - 8,728 kPa (81.4 - 87.3 bar, 83 - 89 kg/cm
