11. Next install the pinion joint onto rack and leave loose. Slide intermediate shaft through heim joint and
into pinion u-joint. Install bolt and leave loose.
12. Install long primary shaft into column joint and into middle joint. It will be necessary to adjust the heim
joint and tilt of the shaft support bracket to obtain clearance and correct adjustment of linkage.
13. Once you think you are close to your final adjustment tighten main mounting bracket bolts to 65 ft lbs.
Make sure your adjustment for clearance has not changed, if it did you will need to adjust heim joint
and shaft support to get proper alignment and clearance.
14. Pay special attention to your u-joint phasing the top and bottom joint need to be out of phase by 90
degrees or yokes need to be opposite of each other. Make sure your rack and pinion is centered and
make sure your steering wheel is in the center position before connecting all the shafts together.
15. Once your adjustment is complete, install your old outer tie rod ends and torque to 30 ft lbs. Also
install cotter pins.
16. Tighten all u-joint pinch bolts to 35 ft lbs.
17. Install the supplied brackets and hardware for the power steering pump assembly to the engine. Your
pump has come pre assembled. The top of the bracket goes to the upper hole on the water pump and
uses the supplied standoffs and the lower slot goes to the lower hole on the pump where your stock
adjuster was. This will cover the install for big block versions.
18. The stabilizer bracket goes on to the driver side cylinder head accessory hole for big block models.
Measure and purchase a new length belt to go around and drive your new pump assembly.
19. For small block set ups follow the supplied directions included with bracket kit to go through the
install.
