Install sector shaft
and side cover into
housing
27.
Clean off any old tape on the serrations. Reapply one layer
of masking tape. Install the sector shaft assembly into the
housing. The center tooth of the sector shaft must engage the
center space (between the second and third tooth) of the rack
piston, with side cover gasket in place.
If the serrations are not properly
taped, they will damage the output
seal (43) in housing, causing the seal to leak.
Masking tape
25.
Apply clean grease to the new side cover gasket (42) to hold it in
place and assemble it onto the side cover (44).
Install side cover
gasket
Center rack piston
26.
There are four teeth on the rack piston. Rotate input shaft to
position the rack piston so the space between the second and
third tooth is in the center of the sector shaft opening. This will
center the rack piston for assembly of sector shaft.
If the rack piston is not centered
when sector shaft is installed, gear
travel will be severely limited in one direction. This
could result in an accident.
Install jam nut
Assemble vent
plug
23.
Install the sector shaft adjusting screw jam nut (46) onto the
sector shaft adjusting screw a few threads. Final adjustment
will be made later.
24.
Press the new vent plug (45) into the hole provided in the side
cover until the plug is fully seated.
Do not weld or otherwise plug
this hole in any permanent
manner. This is a safety vent which functions only if
the side cover seal fails. If the seal fails and the plug
cannot vent, the steering gear may lock-up or otherwise
malfunction.
