5. Steering Nozzle and Shafts
5.1. Steering nozzle
5.1.1. Detachment
To remove the steering nozzle, the reversing deflector must be taken off first (section
4.1.1).
The steering nozzle is pivoted to the
stator with acid-proof sleeves and two
hex screws (A). The steering shaft is
attached to the nozzle with loop joints
(B), as indicated in figure 5.1.1-1.
Remove the loop at the steering shaft
side.
Open the screws and take note of the
order of the washers. The free threading
on the stator resists screw rotation and,
in addition, thread locking has been
used in installation, so the screw will
not open by hand.

5.1.2. Repair
The wearing parts of the steering nozzle
are the hard plastic spacer plates, joint
loops and zinc anodes. The parts must
be replaced if they have cracks or they
are highly worn. The joint does not re-
quire lubricating.
The plastic bearings (A) of the steering
nozzle joints indicated in figure 5.1.1-2
are attached to the stator. The bearings
are removed by using a suitable sleeve
and new ones are installed using sealing
compound.
