to solines of the Dinion shaft.
VALVE HOUSING
Separate the valve housing from the pinion shafv
valve using a press.
Check the inner wall of the valve housing where the
seal ring slides with your finger. lf there is a step in
the wall, the valve housing is worn. Replace the
valve housing.
Note these items during inspection:
o There may be the sliding marks from the seal
ring on the wall of the valve housing. Replace
the valve housing only if the wall is stepped.
. When the valve housing is replaced, install new
shim{s) on the bearing surface of the housing to
adiust the thickness.
Check the inside ofvalve housingfor a step in the wall.

26. Check for wear, burrs and other damage to the
edges of the grooves in the sleeve.
NOTE: The pinion shaft and sleeve are a precision
matched set. lf either the oinion shaft or sleeve
must be replaced, replace both parts as a set.

Note these items during reassembly
. Clean the disassembled parts with a solvent, and dry them with compressed air. Do not dip the rubber parts in a sol-
vent.
. Always replace the O-rings and rubber seals with new ones before assembly.
. Apply the recommended power steering fluid to the parts indicated in the assembly procedures.
. Do not allow dust. dirt, or other toreign materials to enter the power steering system.
. Use the appropriate specialtools where necessary.

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.
