Withdrawal
1. Remove the front wheel.
2. Remove the bolt connecting the universal joint and the steering gear shaft.
3. Remove the cotter pins and unscrew the nuts securing the pins of the ball joints of the tie rod ends to the steering knuckles. With a puller 09568–31000, press the pins of the ball joints of the tie rod ends from the steering knuckles.
4. Remove the rear engine mount.
5. Turn out bolts and remove arms of fastening of steering transfer.
6. Move the steering gear and get it on the right side of the car.
Disassembly
Before disassembly, measure the torque required to rotate the steering gear shaft in the middle position of the rack.
1. Clean the steering gear and fix it in a vise, the jaws of which are covered with soft material.
Warning! When fixing the steering gear in a vise, wrap the steering gear with a cloth and be careful not to damage it when squeezing the vise.
2. Remove the tie rod.
3. Loosen the plug locknut.
4. Use the special tool 09565–21100 to remove the plug.
5. Remove the spring, rubber gasket and stop.
6. Remove the protective cover.
7. Remove the O-ring from the steering gear case.
8. Remove the retaining ring from the steering gear housing and remove the gear together with the bearing.
9. Remove the bearing cap circlip from the gear.
10. Using the special tool 09565-21000, remove the bearing from the gear.
11. Remove the protective cover.
12. Using a chisel, remove the right tie rod nut.
13. Move the toothed rack all the way to the gear case and secure the toothed rack in a vise whose jaws are covered with soft material. Loosen the fastening and remove the steering rod from the steering gear.
14. Remove the rack and pinion from the steering gear housing after removing the gear.
Warning! To prevent damage to the teeth of the gear rack, take it out from the left side.
Examination
Check the steering gear elements in the places shown in the figure.
Assembly
1. Wash all parts in solvent before assembly.
2. Using the special tool 09432-22000, press the bearing into the gear.
3. Install the circlip on the gear.
4. Lubricate the rack, pinion, bushing, bearing and other sliding surfaces.
Recommended lubricant: SAE J310a, NLGI #2
Warning! Do not block the air passage in the crankcase bushing with lubricant.
5. After installing the gear rack in the steering gear housing, install the gear in the hole, aligning it with the gear rack.
Warning! Make sure the rack is inserted into the steering gear housing from the left side.
Warning! Wipe off excess lubricant.
6. Select and install the appropriate type of circlip to minimize backlash in the axial direction of the pinion.
7. Lubricate the sealing lip before installing the O-ring.
Warning! When installing, a new O-ring must be used.
8. Install the stop, rubber gasket and spring.
Warning! Lubricate the cupped part of the stop.
9. Use the special tool 09565–21000 to screw in the plug.
Tighten the plug with a torque of 11 Nm, then tighten it by an angle of 30°–60°. Secure the position of the plug with a locknut.
Locknut tightening torque: 50 - 70 Nm
Warning! Adjust plug with steering gear in neutral position.
Warning! Apply a layer of sealant between the locknut and the steering gear housing.
10. Install the tie rod end and protective boot. Secure the cover with new clamps.
11. Measure the preload with boot and lubricant by turning the gear with special tool 09565-11100 one revolution every 4-6 seconds. Also measure the starting force of the rack.
Full Gear Preload:
- ±180°or less from neutral: 0.4 - 1.1 Nm
- ±180°or more from neutral: 0.3 - 1.6 Nm
- Rack starting force: 50 - 300 N
Warning! The gear preload must be measured over the full length of the steering gear travel.
Installation
1. Install the rubber mounting bushing on the steering gear as shown in the figure.
2. Install the pinion and the steering gear and pinion assembly to the cross member.
Warning! Make sure that when installing the steering gear and gears, they are not twisted or damaged. Be careful not to overtighten the connections as this will warp the steering gear and gear and increase steering effort.
3. Tighten the connecting bolt.
Tightening torque: 15–20 Nm
4. Attach the tie rods to the steering knuckle.
The moment of an inhaling of a nut of fastening of a pin of a spherical joint of steering draft: 16–34 Nm
Warning! Align the groove of the nut with the cotter pin hole and tighten the nut to the correct torque.
5. Adjust wheel alignment.
6. Make sure that the protective cover is not twisted and secure it with a clamp.
