Use the wider diameterend ot the specialtool first to makethe valve seal ringfit in the pinionshaft.
Make the valve seal ringsnugly fit in the.pinionshaft using the other end(smaller diameter end) ofthe specialtool.

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. Do two rings at a time from
each end of the sleeve,
NOTE:
. 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.
Set the special tool in the grooves in the sleeve. and
set each ring in each groove securely.
NOTE: After installation, compress the seal rings
with your fingers temporarily.

-4. Determine the requifed thickness of the 32 mm
shims by subtracting the clearance obtained in thestep -3 from the total thickness of the four shims.(Total thickness of the 4 shims) - (Clearance) =
Required thickness of the shims
NOTE: Select the shims so that th6 total thicknessis close to, but less than the required thickness.
Exampls:
Measu.ement is 0.28 mm (0.011 in):
0.70 - 0.28 = 0.42 mm (0.028 - 0.011 = 0.0't7 in)
The selected shims should be 0.25 mm (O.O1O in) and0.15 mm (0.005 in) in thickness.
lf the required shim thickness is 0.lO mm or less, no
shims are necessary.
i[9. Set the selected 32 mm shims on the bearing sur-face of the g€arbox housing.
