ASSEMBLY

Assembly is in the reverse order of disassembly.

Install new tamper resistant self-shear screws.
INSPECTION AFTER ASSEMBLY
When the steering wheel does not turn smoothly, check the steering column as follows:
1. Check the column bearings for damage or unevenness. Lubricate with recommended multi-purpose
grease. Replace the steering column as an assembly, if necessary.
2. Check the column tube for deformation or breakage. Replace the steering column as an assembly, if nec-
essary.
3. If the vehicle has been involved in a collision, or if noise and rat-
tles are heard during a turn, check the length "L" of the column.
If out of specification, replace the steering column as an assem-
bly.
4. Check for proper lubrication, apply grease as necessary.
5. Check for wear around the seal edges, replace the steering col-
umn as an assembly as necessary.
6. Check for corrosion or pitting around the seal sliding area.
7. After installing the steering column, check the tilt mechanism for
proper operation.
CAUTION:

Replace the column if it is depleted of grease, worn, dam-
aged, or if any scratches or coating separation is present
on the shaft seal area.

During lower joint detachment, insert a tool into the yoke
groove to prevent gouging damage.

POWER STEERING OIL PUMPPFP:49110
On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceEGS000MW
CHECKING RELIEF OIL PRESSURE
CAUTION:
Before starting work, confirm belt tension is proper.
1. Connect Tool 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 – 80°C (122 – 176°F).
CAUTION:

Warm up engine with shut-off valve fully opened. If engine is started with shut-off valve closed,
fluid pressure 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-17, "Dis-
assembly and Assembly" .
5. After inspection, disconnect oil pressure gauge and oil pressure gauge adapter from hydraulic circuit, con-
nect oil pump discharge connector and high pressure hose. Add fluid and bleed air from hydraulic circuit
thoroughly. Refer to PS-6, "
Air Bleeding Hydraulic System" .

excessively extend the slide joint.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Move the joint up and down, left and right, and in the axial direc-
tion. Check for any rough movement or significant looseness.
