TM 10-3930-653-14&P (5)   Disassembly  of  Ball  joint  (a)  Remove  the  boot  and cotter pin, and then the engine cover. Fig. 4-439. (b)    Remove the spring, upper bearing and ball stud. Fig. 4-440. ASSEMBLY OF POWER STEERING CYLINDER Reassembly  of  the  power  steering  cylinder  is  performed  in  the  reverse  order  of  disassembly.  Before  proceeding  to reassembly, inspect all parts for defects and replace with new ones, if defective. (1)   Clean all parts with cleaning oil and use caution to keep them free from foreign matter. (2)   Apply grease (ALBANIA No. 2 or equivalent) on O-rings, U-packings, dust seals and boot seals. (3)   Apply grease (ALBANIA No. 2 or equivalent) in the ball joint housing. (4)   After tightening the ball joint end cover to a torque of 1 kg-m (7 ft-lbs), turn it back to the first position  which  allows cotter pin insertion. (5)   When  inserting  the  piston  rod  through  the  cylinder  cap,  care  should  be  exercised  not  to  damage  the  piston  rod threaded part. It is a good practice to wrap vinyl tape around it. (6)   Tighten the cylinder cap to a torque of 8 to 12 kg-m (58 to 87 ft-lbs). (7)   One of the two cylinder cap grooves has not been caulked yet. In this step, caulk this point. Do not re-caulk the parts which were caulked before disassembly. 4-218
