Reassembly (Front Wheel Drive Models)

  1. Install tie rod assemblies. If pinion was removed, hold 1 tie rod socket with a 30 mm box wrench and torque other socket with tightening tool (T81P-3504-G). This tightens both sockets at the same time. If pinion was not removed, turn input shaft against right stop and hold rack with an adjustable wrench. Tighten tie rod sockets separately with tightening tool (T81P-3504-G).
  2. Insert spiral pin in housing and tap in with small hammer. Install pinion, if removed. Apply gear lubricant to bellows undercut. Install bellows and breather tube. Install new bellows clamps and tighten. Install jam nuts and tie rod ends to tie-rods.
