Pipe Assembly (Power Steering System): Installation

  1. Connect pipes C and D to steering gearbox.

    Tightening torque: 

    1. 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.

  2. Connect pipe D to oil tank.
  3. 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)

  4. Tighten bolt A.

    Tightening torque:  13+/-3 N.m (1.3+/-0.3 kg-m, 9.4+/-2.2 ft-lb)

  5. Temporarily connect pipes C and D to pipes (on the gearbox side).

  6. 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.

  7. Tighten clamp E firmly.

    Tightening torque:  7.4+/-2.0 N.m (0.75+/-0.20 kg-m, 5.4+/-1.4 ft-lb)

  8. Tighten joint nut.

    Tightening torque:  15+/-5 N.m (1.5+/-0.5 kg-m, 10.8+/-3.6 ft-lb)

  9. 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)

  10. Install jack-up plate.
  11. Connect battery minus terminal.
  12. Feed the specified fluid and discharge air.
    NOTE: Never start the engine before feeding the fluid; otherwise vane pump might be seized up.

  13. 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:

    1. 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.

    2. 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.
