DISASSEMBLY
GENERAL
A high level of cleanliness should be observed at all times
when working on the power steering gear. Clean the exterior
of all parts prior to disassembly.
The following disassembly and assembly procedure is
presented for reference purposes and presupposes that a
major rebuild of the power steering gear is being
undertaken. Several replacement parts and maintenance
kits are available which do not require full disassembly. The
instructions provided with these parts and kits should be
followed in lieu of the instructions presented here.
After removing the power steering gear from the vehicle and
cleaning the outside, secure the power steering gear to the
work bench for disassembly. A large vise with jaw protectors
may be used. Clamp across the mounting bolt bosses. (Do
not overtighten.) Figure 12
