Installing Hydraulic System Components at the begin-
ning of the Service and Repairs section of this chapter.
3. To prevent contamination of hydraulic system during
cylinder removal, thoroughly clean exterior of cylinder
and fittings.
NOTE:
To ease installation, tag the hydraulic hoses to
show their correct position on the steering cylinder.

5. Remove cotter pins, slotted hex nuts, axle washer
and ball joint spacer from the threaded ends of ball joints
(Fig. 69). Remove steering cylinder with ball joints from
machine.
6. If hydraulic fittings are to be removed from steering
cylinder, mark fitting orientation to allow correct assem-
bly. Remove fittings from cylinder and discard O--rings.

Installation (Fig. 69)
1. If removed, install ball joints into steering cylinder.
2. If fittings were removed from steering cylinder, lubri-

into port openings using marks made during the removal
process to properly orientate fittings. Tighten fittings
(see Hydraulic Fitting Installation in the General Infor-
mation section of this chapter).
3. Slide ram end ball joint through hole on steering arm.
Secure with axle washer and hex slotted nut. Slide fixed
end of cylinder through hole on axle. Secure with slotted
hex nut. Torque slotted hex nuts to
100 ft--lbs (135 N--m)
and then continue tightening the nut until hex nut groove
aligns with cotter pin hole in ball joint. Install cotter pin
to nut and ball joint.
4. Install hydraulic hoses to steering cylinder (see Hy-
draulic Hose and Tube Installation in the General Infor-
mation section of this chapter).
