21. Pinion height setting procedure:
l'A' = Nominal pinion height setting, 74.390.
l'B' = Setting block height.
l'C' = Head height setting.
l'C' = 'A' - 'B'. Subtract nominal pinion height
'A' from setting block height 'B' (on side of
setting block).
lExample: 74.390 - 73.130 = 1.26 mm
(2.929' - 2.88' = 0.049'). Therefore pinion
head height reading is 1.260 mm ± 0.025
mm (0.049' ± 0.001').
CAUTION: Setting block height must be
checked using figures on side of block.
22.Align setting gauge LRT-51-018/7 to setting
block, rock gauge to obtain minimum reading. If
reading is lower than required reading,
decrease shim size. If reading is higher than
required reading, increase shim size.
23.Using LRT-51-003 to restrain pinion flange,
remove bolt and washer. Remove pinion
flange.
24.Remove pinion, collect tail bearing and tail
bearing shim.
25.Remove pinion head bearing outer race and
shim. Discard shim. Ensure bearing race
recess is clean and free from burrs.26.Fit calculated shim, and using LRT-51-018/4 fit
head bearing outer race.
27.Fit pinion, pinion tail bearing and tail bearing
shim.
28.Fit pinion flange and bolt and washer. Using
LRT-51-003 to restrain pinion flange, tighten
bolt to 100 Nm (74 lbf.ft).
29.Rotate pinion in both directions to settle
bearings.
30.Recheck pinion Torque to Turn, adjust if
necessary.
31.Recheck pinion head height.
32.Using LRT-51-003 to restrain pinion flange,
remove bolt and washer. Remove pinion
flange.
33.Discard bolt.
34.Using LRT-51-010 fit pinion seal.
35.Ensure spacer and tail bearing are correctly
located.
36.Fit pinion, pinion flange and washer.
37.Fit new pinion flange bolt and tighten to 100 Nm
(74 lbf.ft).
38.Lightly oil differential bearings.
39.Ensure spring dowels are fitted in bearing caps.
40.Fit differential bearing outer races and locate
differential assembly into housing.
41.Fit bearing caps and tighten bolts to 10 Nm (7.5
lbf.ft).

STEERING
57-6 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Tilt adjustment
The column tilt adjuster lever mechanism is located on the LH side of the steering column and allows the upper column
tube, nacelle and steering wheel assemblies to be tilted up or down a maximum of 7.5° or 47 mm (NAS vehicles have
a smaller range of movement than the ROW vehicles).
The pawl of the mechanism is attached to the lower column and is allowed to pivot, a toothed quadrant is fixed to the
upper column tube.
When the lever on the LH side of the steering column is raised the mechanism releases the pawl from the toothed
quadrant, this allows the column to be moved. When the lever is released two return springs pull the pawl into
engagement with the toothed quadrant.
Steering column lock (All except NAS)
The steering column lock houses the ignition switch, ignition illumination light ring, key lock barrel and the alarm
passive coil. The steering lock is attached to the upper column with two shear bolts. The bolts are tightened to a
torque which shears off the heads of the bolts preventing easy removal of the steering lock.
The steering lock operates by a bolt, which emerges when the ignition key is turned to position 'O' and the ignition key
removed. The bolt engages in a lock collar located on the upper shaft in the upper column tube. The lock collar is
attached to the upper shaft by a 'wave form' interference ring. If a high torque is applied via the steering wheel with
the lock engaged, the lock collar will slip on the upper shaft. This prevents damage to the steering lock, yet still
prevents the vehicle from being driven.
Steering column lock (NAS only)
The steering column lock houses the ignition switch, ignition illumination light ring, key lock barrel and the alarm
passive coil. The steering lock is attached to the upper column with two shear bolts. The bolts are tightened to a
torque which shears off the heads of the bolts preventing easy removal of the steering lock.
The steering column lock operates by a bolt, which emerges when the ignition key is turned to position 'O' and the
ignition key removed. The bolt engages in a groove machined into the upper shaft in the column tube.
Steering wheel
The steering wheel comprises a cast centre and wire frame onto which the soft polyurethane foam is moulded. The
steering wheel is located on the upper column shaft by a spline and is secured with a nut. A remote radio control switch
(if fitted) is located on the LH side of the steering wheel, a cruise control switch may be located on the RH side. Horn
switches are located on each side of the centre of the steering wheel and protrude through the airbag module cover.
Both switches are connected by wires to the rotary coupler connector.
Intermediate shaft
One end of the intermediate shaft is attached to the steering column lower shaft by a splined universal joint and a bolt,
the universal joint is part of a rubber coupling assembly. The rubber coupling assembly is covered by a heat shield
and connects to the lower section of the intermediate shaft via a decouple joint. The rubber coupling reduces the
shocks felt by the driver through the steering wheel. A second universal joint on the other end of the intermediate shaft
is held in by a bolt. The universal joint is splined and engages with the splined rotor (input) shaft of the steering box.
The decouple joint consists of a metal plate that has open ended slots, the plate is bolted through the slots into the
other half of the decouple joint. The top half of the decouple joint has a slot that accepts the lower section of the
intermediate shaft. The slotted metal plate clamps the lower section of the intermediate shaft to the top section. An
indicator clip is installed between the slotted metal plate and the top half of the decouple joint.
If the intermediate shaft is compressed in an accident, the slotted metal plate in the decouple joint will disengage if
sufficient force is applied to the front end of the shaft. If the forces involved do not disengage the shaft, the red
indicator clip located in the decouple joint will break off if the shaft moves. The intermediate shaft cannot be repaired
and must be replaced as an assembly if accident damage occurs.

2Nut
3Stud
4Auxiliary housing
5PAS pump6Outlet
7Inlet
8Bolt 3 off
9Drive pulley
The PAS pump is located on the auxiliary housing and is attached by two bolts, the bolts go through flanged bushes
in the auxiliary housing. A stud passes through the PAS pump and through a flanged bush in the auxiliary housing,
the auxiliary housing and PAS pump are secured by a nut. As the two bolts and nut are tightened the bushes move
slightly and the flange of each bush clamps the PAS pump. A drive pulley is attached to the pump drive shaft with
three bolts, and is belt driven at a ratio of 1.4 crankshaft revolutions to 1 of the drive pulley. Fluid is drawn into the
PAS pump inlet from the reservoir through a flexible hose at low (suction) pressure. Fluid at high pressure from the
PAS pump outlet is supplied to the rotary control valve on the steering box.
The PAS pump is a roller vane type and has an internal pressure regulator and flow control valve. The roller vanes
can move in slots in the pumps rotor and are moved outwards by centrifugal force as the pump rotates. The pump
rotor rotates in the pump housing, the internal shape of the housing forms a 'cam' shape. Due to the 'cam' shape the
volume of the housing decreases between the inlet and outlet ports.
As the pump rotor rotates towards the pump inlet the volume between the roller vanes and the pump housing
increases, this action causes a depression in the chamber between the pump roller vanes and the housing. As the
rotation continues the chamber is opened to the pump inlet, and the depression in the chamber causes fluid to be
drawn in. The roller vanes continue past the inlet port, closing off the inlet port and trapping the fluid in the chamber
between the rollers and the pump housing.
