Disassembly and Assembly

DISASSEMBLY

Remove inner socket lock nut (A) and outer socket (1).

CAUTION:

To prevent damage, hold outer socket (1) across flats using suitable tool while loosening inner socket lock nut (A).

Remove boot clamps and boot.

Remove inner socket.

CAUTION:

To prevent damage to the rack bar when removing the inner socket, hold suitable tool (A) across rack bar flats (C) while turning suitable tool (B) across inner socket flats (D).

Remove bracket bolt and bracket.

Remove heat shield bolts and heat shield.

ASSEMBLY

Install heat shield and heat shield bolts.

Install bracket and bracket bolt to steering gear housing.

Apply medium strength thread locker to threads of inner socket. Tighten inner socket to the specified torque. Refer to Exploded View.

CAUTION:

To prevent damage to the rack bar when installing the inner socket, hold suitable tool across rack bar flats while turning suitable tool across inner socket flats.

Install large end of boot (1) to steering gear housing.

Apply silicone grease between the inner socket and small end of boot (2). Install small end of boot to inner socket boot mounting groove.

CAUTION:

To prevent boot deformation or damage during toe-in adjustment, apply silicone grease between the inner socket and small end of boot.

Install small boot clamp (B).

CAUTION:

Do not reuse large boot clamp.

Tool number

: KV40107300 (J-51751)

Adjust inner socket to standard length (L), and then tighten inner socket lock nut to the specified torque. Refer to Exploded View. Check length of inner socket (L) again after tightening inner socket lock nut. Make sure that the length is the standard.

Inner socket length (L)

: Refer to Power Steering Gear.

CAUTION:

Adjust toe-in after this procedure. The length achieved after toe-in adjustment is not necessarily the above value.

To prevent damage, hold outer socket across flats using suitable tool while tightening inner socket lock nut.

Inspect to make sure no boot deformation has occurred during toe-in adjustment. Adjust boot as necessary.
