Stop the vehicle with wheels pointed straight ahead.
Clean off all outside dirt from around fittings and hose connections before you remove the gear.
Remove input and output shaft connections per vehicle manufacturer's instructions.
When using a chisel to spread a pinch bolt-type pitman arm boss for assembly or removal
from the shaft, maintain a firm grip on the chisel at all times. Failure to do this may result in
the chisel flying loose which could cause an injury. Never leave the chisel wedged in the pitman arm boss. If
you cannot remove the pitman arm from the shaft with a chisel and your hands, remove the chisel from the arm
boss and use a puller only to remove pitman arm.
Do not use a hammer on the pitman arm to remove it from sector shaft as internal damage to
steering gear could result. Be sure there is no spreading wedge left in the pitman arm boss
before tightening pitman arm clamp bolt after assembly on sector shaft. Do not pound the universal joint or input
shaft coupling on or off the input shaft as internal damage to the steering gear can result.
Unless the poppet adjuster seat and sleeve assemblies (22) are to be removed and replaced
or reset for automatic poppet adjustment, or a manual adjustment with a service poppet
adjuster screw (59) and nut (60) is anticipated, do not allow the input shaft on a steering gear with the automatic
poppet adjustment feature to rotate more than 1.5 input shaft revolutions from "straight ahead position" when the
output shaft is disconnected from the vehicle steering linkage; this could disrupt the poppet setting achieved at
initial installation. The steering gear is in the "straight ahead position" when the timing marks on the end of the
housing trunnion and sector shaft are aligned.
Remove the supply and return lines from the gear, and immediately plug all port holes and fluid lines.
TAS steering gears can weigh up to 110 pounds dry. Exercise caution when you remove,
lift, carry, or fix in a bench vise.
Remove the steering gear from the vehicle and take it to a clean work surface.
Clean and dry the gear before you start to disassemble it.
As you disassemble the gear, clean all parts in clean, OSHA approved solvent, and air blow-dry them only.
Because they are flammable, be extremely careful when using any solvents. Even a small
explosion or fire could cause injury or death.
Wear eye protection and be sure to comply with OSHA or other maximum air pressure
requirements.
Never steam clean or high-pressure wash hydraulic steering components. Do not force or
abuse closely fitted parts. Use care that bearing and sealing surfaces are not damaged by
the assembly and disassembly procedures.
Keep each part separate to avoid nicks and burrs.
Discard all seals, o-rings, and gaskets removed from the gear. Replace them with new parts only.
The steering gear should be identified to the vehicle from which it was removed. The poppet adjuster seat and sleeve assem-
blies are set for that particular vehicle only.
