NOTE: Only reinstall the original 32 mm shim(s)
when the steering gearbox is reassembled without
replacing the pinion shaft. valve housing, and gear-
box housing with new ones.
lf the pinion shaft, valve housing, and gearbox
housing are replaced, select the new shim{s) as fol-
lows.
Shim selection:
Set the four 32 mm shims on the bearing surface of the
gearbox housing. Total thickness of the four shims
should equal no more than 0.70 mm.
Shim set: four 32 mm shims (Thickness: 0.10 mm, 0.15
mm, 0.20 mm, 0.25 mm respectively)
NOTE: The four 32 mm shims do not have thickness
identification marks. Measure the thickness of each shim
using a micrometer, and mark the shim for identification.
