Raise vehicle and support on stands so that front wheel can be turned from a full left to a full right turn. b. Disconnect the two hydraulic hoses from the ends of the power steering control valve; allow fluid to drain into a container. IMPORTANT: Identify location so that they are installed in the correct location later. Also remember that the hoses enter the valve a slight angle, so that the ports will not be “cross-threaded” when the hoses are re-installed. c. Disconnect the two remaining hydraulic hoses from the top of the valve. d. Remove the valve clamp cap screw at the relay rod. e. Remove pitman arm nut and separate pitman arm from tapered stud of valve. We strongly recommend the use of a “pickle fork” for this operation. f. Unscrew valve body from relay rod and discard. 2. INSTALLATION a. Install new control valve in reverse order of removal: Torque pitman arm nut to: 45 ft – lbs Torque valve adapter clamp screw to 20 ft – lbs Apply one pump of grease gun (maximum) to grease fitting b. Fill system with new good grade power steering fluid. c. Check for leaks and repair if required. 3. ADJUSTING VALVE AND BLEEDING THE SYSTEM a. With power steering reservoir full, start engine momentarily and shut off; refill pump reservoir. b. Repeat operation a. until pump reservoir level remains constant. CAUTION: Keep arms away from steering wheel; wheel may start to turn by itself, if so, valve centering is required. (Every vehicle is slightly different and it is not possible to exactly preset the valves at the factory). c. If centering is required, remove metal cap marked “c” and adjust centering by turning screw (under cap), while engine is running at 1500 rpm. Wheels will turn left or right as screw is adjusted. Once both wheels are straight, replace cap and continue to step d. d. Turn steering wheel to a full left and then to a full right turn and hold momentarily; this bleeds system. e. Refill reservoir if oil level has dropped. 4. FINAL INSPECTION a. Check drive belts and readjust tension if required. Replace frayed or glazed belts at this time. (A high pitched noise at the extreme end of steering wheel travel indicates a slipping belt) b. Make sure that the hydraulic hoses do not twist or interfere with adjoining hoses or adjacent chassis parts.
