assembly. Gear housing assembly must be replaced if dam-
aged because it may cause fluid leakage.
13. Heat rack Teflon ring to approximately 40°C (104°F) with a
dryer, and remove rack Teflon ring and O-ring from rack assem-
bly.
CAUTION:
Never damage rack assembly. Rack assembly must be
replaced if damaged because it cause fluid leakage.
14. Push rack oil seal inside with a 29 mm (1.14 in) socket and an
extension bar to push out rack oil seal (inner side) from gear
housing assembly.
CAUTION:
Never damage gear housing assembly and cylinder inner
wall. Gear housing assembly must be replaced if damaged
because it may cause fluid leakage.

rack oil seal in the following procedure. Then assemble rack
assembly to gear housing assembly.
CAUTION:
 Install rack oil seal in a direction so that the lip of inner oil
seal and the lip of outer oil seal face each other.
 Never damage retainer sliding surface by rack assembly.
Replace gear housing assembly if damaged.
 Never damage gear housing assembly inner wall by rack
assembly. Gear housing assembly must be replaced if
damaged because it may cause fluid leakage.
a. Wrap an OHP sheet [approximately 70 mm (2.76 in) × 100 mm
(3.94 in)]. Around rack assembly teeth to avoid damaging rack
oil seal (inner). Install rack oil seal over sheet. Then, pull OHP
sheet along with rack oil seal until they pass rack assembly
teeth, and remove OHP sheet.
b. Insert rack oil seal (inner) (1) into rack assembly piston (2).
c. Push retainer to adjusting screw side by hand, and move the
rack assembly inside the gear housing assembly so that the
rack oil seal (inner) can be pressed against the gear housing

housing assembly (1), and tooth point.
f. Measure vertical movement of rack assembly when pinion is
turned clockwise with torque of 19.6 N·m (2.0 kg-m, 14 ft-lb).
Readjust adjusting screw angle if the measured value is outside
the standard.
 If reading is outside of the specification, readjust screw angle
with adjusting screw.
CAUTION:
 If reading is still outside 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.
 Never turn adjusting screw more than twice.
 Replace steering gear assembly when adjusting screw is removed or turned more than twice.
