2. Wrap the stepped portion of the worm shaft with vinyl tape and apply power steering fluid over the vinyl tape. Install the protective ring.
3. Apply power steering fluid to the inside surface of the new valve seal.
4. Place the valve seal on the worm shaft without damaging the sealing lip. Install the valve seal with the grooved side facing away from the bearing.
5. Place a new O-ring into the groove on the worm shaft. Then place the new valve seal ring onto the shaft and into the groove on the worm shaft.
6. Remove the vinyl tape from the worm shaft.
7. Apply power steering fluid to the surface of the valve seal ring mounted on the worm shaft.
8. Apply power steering fluid to the inside surface of the special tool.
9. Install the special tool with the larger diameter end onto the valve sealing ring.
10. Move the special tool up and down several times until the valve sealing ring enters the worm shaft.
11. Remove the special tool.
12. Turn the special tool over and install it with the smaller diameter end on the valve sealing ring.
13. Apply power steering fluid to the inside of the special tool. Install new sealing rings on the special tool from the smaller diameter side and expand the sealing rings. Install the sealing rings taking into account the following:
- Do not expand the sealing ring excessively. Put the rings on carefully so as not to damage them. After putting them on, compress the sealing rings using the special tool (gauge).
- There are two types of liner seals: black and brown. Do not mix different types of liner seals as they are not interchangeable.
14. Align the special tool with the grooves on the liner and firmly push the sealing rings into the grooves. After installation, temporarily squeeze the sealing rings with your fingers.
15. Apply power steering fluid to the sealing rings on the sleeve and to the entire inside surface of the special tool.
16. Slowly insert the sleeve into the special tool.
17. Move the sleeve several times in all directions and make sure that the sealing rings are tightly seated in the sleeve.
Note: Make sure that the sealing rings are not reversed.
18. Apply power steering fluid to the surface of the worm shaft. Place the sleeve on the worm shaft, aligning the reference pin inside the sleeve with the notch in the shaft. Then securely place the new ring clamp in the groove of the worm shaft. Be careful not to damage the valve seal ring when installing the sleeve.
19. Apply power steering fluid to the edge of the valve seal ring, then use the special tool to press the seal into the valve body as shown in the figure. Press the valve seal with the groove side facing the special tool.
20. Using the special tool, press the new ball bearing into the valve body as shown in the figure.
21. Wrap the worm shaft with vinyl tape, then apply power steering fluid over the vinyl tape.
22. Insert the worm shaft into the valve body. Do not damage the valve sealing rings.
23. Remove the vinyl tape from the worm shaft, then remove the remaining adhesive layer of the tape.
24. Using the special tool, press in the worm shaft/sleeve. Make sure the worm shaft/sleeve turns smoothly by turning the worm shaft.
