8. Installation is the reverse ofthe removal procedure.
Note these items during installation:
. Be sure the wires are not caught or pinched by
any parts when installing the column.
a Make sure the wire harness is routed and fas-
tened properly.
. Make sure the connectors are properly connected.
. Make sure the steering joint is connected as fol-
lows:

ioint bolt. Be sure that the lower joint bolt is
securely in the groove in the pinion shaft'
c. Pull on the steering joint to make sure that the

Reassembly (cont'd)
Apply power steering fluid to the surface of the spe-
cial tool. Set the new seal rings over the special tool
from the smaller diameter end of the tool. and
expand the seal rings. Install two rings at a time
Jrom each end ofthe sleeve.
Note these items when installing the seal ring:
. Do not over-expand the seal ring. Install the resin
seal rings with care so as not to damage them.
After installation, be sure to contract the seal
rings using the specialtool {sizing tool).
. There are two types of sleeve seal rings: black
and brown. Do not mix the different types of
sleeve seal rings as they are not compatible.
Align the special tool with each groove in the sleeve,
and slide a sleeve seal ring into each groove. After
installation, compress the seal rings with your fin-
gers temporarily.

18. Apply power steering fluid to the surface of the pin-
ion shaft. Assemble the sleeve over the Dinion shaft
by aligning the locating pin on the inside of the
sleeve with the cutout in the shaft. Then install the
new circlip securely in the pinion shaft groove.
Note these items during reassembly:
. Be caretul not to damage the valve seal ring
when inserting the sleeve.
. Install the circlip with its radiused side facing out.
Apply power steering fluid to the seal ring lip of the
valve oil seal. then install the seal in the valve hous-
ing using a hydraulic press and special tools. Install
the valve oil seal with its grooved side facing the tool.

the sDecial tool, then slide them down toward the
big end of the tool.
Note these items during reassembly:
a Do not over expand the resin seal rings. Install
the resin seal rings with care so as not to dam-
age them. After installation, be sure to contract
the seal ring using the special tool (sizing tool).
a Replace the piston's O-ring and seal ring as a set.

is wrapped carefully so that there is no stepped por-
tion.
Coat the inside surface of the new cvlinder end
with power steering fluid.
Install the cylinder end seal onto the steering rack
with its grooved side toward the piston. When
installing the cylinder end seal, be careful not dam-

SHIM SET(four shims)
Measure the clearance between the gearbox and
valve body unit using a feeler gauge. Measure the
clearance at the poinl midway between the two
mounting bolts.
GAUGE
Determine the required thickness of the 32 mm
shims by subtracting the clearance obtained in the
step "c" from the total thickness of the four shims.
(Total thickness of the 4 shims) - (Clearance) =
Reouired thickness of the shims
Select the shims so that the total thickness is close
to, but less than, the required thickness.
Example:
Measurement is 0.28 mm (0.011 in);
0.70-0.28=0.42 mm (0.028-0.011 = 0.017 in)
The selected shims should be 0,25 mm (0.010 inl and
0.15 mm (0.006 in) in thickness.
lf the required shim thickness is 0.10 mm or less, no
shrms are necessary.
53. Set the selected 32 mm shims on the bearing sur-
face of the gearbox housing.
VALVE BODY UNITla lbl.frl
Coat the new O-ring with grease, and carefully fit it
on the valve housing.
Apply grease to the needle bearing in the gearbox
housing.
Install the valve body unit on the gearbox housing
by engaging the gears. Note the valve body unit
installation position (direction of line connection).
Tighten the flange bolts to the specified torque.
