4.

Remove cotter pin at steering outer socket, then loosen mounting nut.

5.

Use a ball joint remover (SST) to remove steering outer socket
from steering knuckle. Be careful not to damage ball joint boot.

CAUTION:

Tighten temporarily mounting nut to prevent damage to
threads and to prevent ball joint remover (SST) from com-
ing off.

6.

Remove oil pipings (high pressure side and low pressure side)
from steering gear assembly, then drain fluid from pipings.

7.

Remove power steering solenoid valve harness connector (with
EPS). Refer to 

PS-22, "COMPONENTS"

 .

8.

Loosen bolt on upper yoke of lower joint and remove bolt on

INSTALLATION

●

Refer to 

PS-19, "Removal and Installation"

  for tightening torque. Install in the reverse order of removal.

●

After removing/installing or replacing steering components, check wheel alignment. Refer to 

FSU-6,

"Wheel Alignment Inspection"

 .

●

Install steering gear to vehicle, refer to the tightening order
shown in the figure.

●

When steering wheel is set in the straight ahead direction, con-
firm slit of lower joint fits with the projection on rear cover cap,
furthermore marking position on steering gear assembly nearly
fits with the projection on rear cover cap. 

●

After installation, bleed air from piping. Refer to 

PS-7, "Air

Bleeding Hydraulic System"

 .
