1) After cleaning joint of high pressure hose and P / S pump thor-
oughly, disconnect hose from pump and install special tool (oil
pressure gauge, attachment and hose).
Tighten each flare nut to specified torque.

gine idling and hands off steering wheel.
Back pressure: Lower than 1000 kPa (10 kg / cm
2
, 142 psi)
When back pressure is higher than specified values, check con-
