12. Inspect the bore of the flow control valve on the pump housing for scratches and wear.
13. Slip the flow control valve back in the pump housing, and check that it moves in and out smoothly. If OK, go to step 14 if not, replace the pump as an assembly. The flow control valve (A) is not available separately.

14. Attach a hose (A) to the end of the flow control valve (B) as shown. Then submerge the flow control valve in a container of power steering fluid (C), and apply compressed air in the hose.
    • If air bubbles leak through the valve at less than 98 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm² , 14.2 psi), replace the pump as an assembly. The flow control valve is not available separately.
    • If the flow control valve is OK, set it aside for reassembly later.

16. Inspect the driveshaft by rotating the inner race slowly. If you feel any play (axial or radial), remove the worn driveshaft (C), and install a new driveshaft (D).

    Reassembly 

17. Align the pin (A) of the subvalve (B) with the oil passage (C) in the pump housing, and push the subvalve into place, then install the snap ring (D).
