Pipe Assembly (Power Steering System): Installation
- Connect pipes C and D to steering gearbox.
Tightening torque:
- Joint nut: 15+/-5 N.m (1.5+/-0.5 kg-m, 10.8+/-3.6 ft-lb)
CAUTION: Visually check that hose between tank and pipe D is free from bending or twisting. - Connect pipe D to oil tank.
- Connect pipe C to oil pump.CAUTION: Use a new gasket.
Tightening torque: 39+/-5 N.m (4.0+/-0.5 kg-m, 28.9+/-3.6 ft-lb)
- Tighten bolt A.
Tightening torque: 13+/-3 N.m (1.3+/-0.3 kg-m, 9.4+/-2.2 ft-lb)
- Temporarily connect pipes C and D to pipes (on the gearbox side).
- Temporarily install clamp E on pipes C and D.CAUTION: Ensure that the letter "8" side of clamp E is on the pipe C side as shown in the figure.
- Tighten clamp E firmly.
Tightening torque: 7.4+/-2.0 N.m (0.75+/-0.20 kg-m, 5.4+/-1.4 ft-lb)
- Tighten joint nut.
Tightening torque: 15+/-5 N.m (1.5+/-0.5 kg-m, 10.8+/-3.6 ft-lb)
- Connect pipes A and B to the four pipe joints of gearbox. Connect upper pipe B first, and lower pipe A second.
Tightening torque: 13+/-3 N.m (1.3+/-0.3 kg-m, 9.4+/-2.2 ft-lb)
- Install jack-up plate.
- Connect battery minus terminal.
- Feed the specified fluid and discharge air.NOTE: Never start the engine before feeding the fluid; otherwise vane pump might be seized up.
- Finally check clearance between pipes and/or hoses, as shown above.
If clearance between cruise control pump and power steering hose is less than 10 mm (0.39 in), proceed as follows:
- Move clamped section (A) (refer to figure above.) down to a point where pipe is close to crossmember.
Pipe-to-crossmember clearance: 10 mm (0.39 in), Min.
- Check that clearance between cruise control pump and power steering hose is at least 10 mm (0.39 in). If it is not, bend section (B) down until a clearance of at least 10 mm (0.39 in) is obtained.
- Move clamped section (A) (refer to figure above.) down to a point where pipe is close to crossmember.
