11. Apply thread locking adhesive (Three Bond 1111B or equivalent)
to the thread of adjusting screw to the adjusting screw height
from gear housing assembly. The adjusting screw height is the
same as it was measured in the overhaul in advance.
12. Rotate pinion ten times whole range of rack so that parts get to
fit with each other.
13. Measure pinion rotating torque within from –180° to + 180°
make preload gauge (SST) and torque adapter (SST) in rack
neutral position, then hold preload gauge (SST) at maximum
torque.
14. After loosening adjusting screw once, tighten it again with torque
of 4.9 - 5.9 N·m (0.50 - 0.60 kg-m, 44 - 52 in-lb). After that
loosen it within from 20° to 40°.
15. Measure pinion rotating torque with torque adapter (SST) and
preload gauge (SST), then confirm whether its reading is within
the specified value. If the reading is not within the specified
value, readjust screw angle with adjusting screw. Change gear
assembly to new one, if the reading is still not within the speci-
fied value or the rotating torque of adjusting screw is less than 5
N·m (0.51kg-m, 44 in-lb)
16. Turn pinion fully to the end of the left with tie-rods to rack.
17. Set dial gauge to rack as shown in the figure. Measure vertical
movement of rack when pinion is turned counterclockwise with
torque of 19.6 N·m (2.0 kg-m, 14 ft-lb). Check reading is within
the specified value. If reading is outside of the specification,
readjust screw angle with adjusting screw. If reading is still out-
side of specification, or if the rotating torque of adjusting screw is
less than 5 N·m (0.51 kg-m, 44 in-lb), replace steering gear
assembly.

Other than above (more than ±100°)
Maximum variation “B”:
2.3 N·m (0.23 kg-m, 20 in-lb)

e. After twisting wire 4 to 4.5 turns, bend cut end of wire. Cut end of
wire should not touch boot. Be sure wire end is at least 5 mm
(0.20 in) away from clearance for tube.
22. Install cylinder tubes to gear housing assembly.
23. Tighten lightly inner socket in specified length “L”, then tighten
lock nut at specified torque. Refer to PS-19, "
COMPONENTS" .
Reconfirm if inner socket length is within limit of specified length
“L”.
CAUTION:
Perform toe-in adjustment after this procedure. Length
achieved after toe-in adjustment is not necessarily value
given here.

5. Loosen idler pulley, then remove belt.
6. Drain power steering fluid from reservoir tank.
7. Remove piping of high pressure and low pressure (drain fluid
from their pipings)
8. Remove bolt common to water pump and power steering pump.
9. Remove bolt then remove power steering pump.
INSTALLATION
Refer to PS-33, "HYDRAULIC LINE" for tightening torque. Install in the reverse order of removal.

After installation, adjust belt tension. Refer to EM-12, "DRIVE BELTS" .

After installation, bleed air. Refer to PS-6, "Air Bleeding Hydraulic System" .

6. Install rotor to shaft of shaft kit (rotor direction is the same
regardless of the front and back).
7. Install vane to rotor (vane direction is the same regardless of
inside and outside).
8. Install rotor snap ring to shaft of shaft kit.
NOTE:

Do not reuse rotor snap ring.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage rotor and pulley shaft.
9. Apply recommended fluid to O-ring A, then install O-ring A to
body assembly.
NOTE:
Do not reuse O-ring A.
10. Attach cover assembly to body assembly and tighten fixing bolts diagonally at the specified torque.
11. Install flow control valve assembly, relief valve assembly and flow control valve spring to body assembly.
12. Apply recommended fluid to O-ring D and install to plug, then tighten plug at the specified torque.
NOTE:
Do not reuse O-ring D.
13. Apply recommended fluid to O-ring E and install to suction connector assembly, then install suction con-
nector to body assembly.
NOTE:
Do not reuse O-ring E.
14. Install bracket to body assembly, and tighten mounting bolts at the specified torque.
