POWER STEERING GEAR AND LINKAGE — Removal and Installation (Cont'd)
ST-16prose procedurePOWER STEERING GEAR AND LINKAGE (Model PR24SC and PR26SC)
Removal and Installation (Cont'd)
IMPORTANT
Observe specified tightening torque when tightening high-pressure and low-pressure pipe connectors. Excessive tightening can damage threads or damaged connector O-ring.
The O-ring in low-pressure pipe connector is larger than that in high-pressure connector. Take care to install the proper O-ring.
Initially, tighten nut on tie-rod outer socket and knuckle arm to 29 to 39 N·m (3 to 4 kg-m, 22 to 29 ft-lb). Then tighten nut further to align nut groove with first pin hole so that cotter pin can be installed.
CAUTION
Tightening torque must not exceed 49 N·m (5 kg-m, 36 ft-lb).
IMPORTANT
Before removing lower joint from gear, set gear in neutral (wheels in straight-ahead position). After removing lower joint, put matching mark on pinion shaft and pinion housing to record neutral position of gear.
To install, set left and right dust boots to equal deflection, and attach lower joint by aligning matching marks of pinion shaft and pinion housing.
