3.3 Gather one M8 x 20mm flanged bolt, two M8
flange nuts and the power steering link. Bend the
tabs open on the power steering hose clamp,
using wire cutters. Open the clamp and slide it
down the hose. Make sure that the rubber slides
along with the clamp. Install the power steering
link over the stud on the power steering bracket
and start one of the flange nuts. Align the clamp
on the power steering hose with the remaining
hole in the power steering link. Slip the bolt
through the hole and start the nut. Once the bolts
are started, pull the hose away from the power
steering reservoir to gain clearance and tighten
the bolts to 18 ft lbs. Now tighten the hose on the
power steering pump. Once the two bolts are
tight, the two tabs on the power steering hose
clamp can be bent down again. Illustration 3.3
VERY IMPORTANT: Check the clearance
between the small coolant hose that runs from the
base of the thermostat housing and the passenger
side plastic idler pulley (see figure 8.1). If the
clearance is less than 1/2 inch between the hose
and the pulley, trim three quarters of an inch of
length off of the thermostat end of the small hose.
Reinstall the hose, reusing the spring clamp. By
removing a small piece of the hose end, the hose
will be pulled away from the idler pulley, avoiding
any damage during operation. This is a critical
area for attention since a hose failure could
