IMPORTANT: Do not remove the bellows unless
they are damaged and require replacement, or
there is evidence of a loose inner tie rod or
there is hydraulic fluid leak.
7. Use a clean rag to remove all dirt and debris
from the bellows. Check the bellows for holes or
tears. If any are found, replace the bellows.
8. Check for evidence of hydraulic fluid leakage
from the bellows. If hydraulic fluid is found to be
leaking from within the bellows, replace the
steering gear.
9. Check the input shaft for any leakage around the
input shaft seal cover. If there is evidence of
leakage from inside the cover, remove it and re-
place the input shaft seal. See
Group 46 of the
Century Class Trucks Workshop Manual for in-
structions.
Check the steering system pressure and return
lines and fittings for leaks and damaged lines or
