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.
