7. Remove oil pipings (high pressure side and low pressure side)
from steering gear assembly, then drain fluid from pipings.
8. Remove mounting bolt of steering hydraulic piping bracket from steering gear assembly.
9. Remove mounting bolt (lower side) of lower joint.
10. Remove mounting bolts of steering gear assembly with power tool, and then remove steering gear assembly from vehicle.
INSTALLATION

Refer to PS-19, "Removal and Installation" for tightening torque. Install in the reverse order of removal.
NOTE:
Refer to component parts location and do not reuse non-reusable parts.

After removing/installing or replacing steering components, check wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-6,
"Wheel Alignment Inspection" .

After adjusting wheel alignment, adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor. Refer to BRC-6, "Adjust-
ment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Position" .

On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceAGS000H2
CHECKING RELIEF OIL PRESSURE (VQ35DE MODELS)
CAUTION:
Before starting work, confirm belt tension is proper.
1. Connect oil pressure gauge (SST) and oil pressure gauge adapter (SST) between oil pump discharge connector and high
pressure hose and then bleed air from the hydraulic circuit.
2. Start engine. Allow engine to run until tank temperature reaches 50 to 80 °C (122 to 176 °F).
CAUTION:

Warm up engine with shut-off valve fully opened. If
engine is started with shut-off valve closed, fluid pres-
sure in power steering pump increases to maximum. This
will raise fluid temperature excessively.

Be careful not to contact hose with belt when engine is
started.
3. With engine at idle, close shut-off valve and read the relief oil pressure.
CAUTION:
Do not close shut-off valve of pressure gauge for more than 10 seconds.
4. After measurement, open shut-off valve slowly. If relief oil pressure is outside the specification, disassemble and repair oil pump. Refer to PS-33, "
Disas-
sembly and Assembly (VQ35DE Models)" .
5. After inspection, disconnect oil pressure gauge (SST) and oil pressure gauge adapter (SST) from hydrau- lic circuit, connect oil pump discharge connector and high pressure hose. Add fluid and bleed air from
hydraulic circuit thoroughly.
Refer to PS-8, "
Air Bleeding Hydraulic System" .
