Service Procedure
Power Steering Gear Inlet Pipe/Hose Inspection/Replacement (LF1)
Special Tools
CH-50623 Gauge Tool
This procedure includes an inspection to gauge check the diameter of the hose mid crimp body. Over crimping (an undersized crimp diameter) may have
damaged the structure of the hose.
Because the crimp can be tapered (smaller diameter at one end) and oblong in shape, the gauge check must be performed at four locations around the
diameter at each end of the crimped section.
Note
An undersized crimp at just one of the eight positions is considered an unacceptable crimp
1. Remove the intake manifold cover.
2. Remove the power steering gear inlet pipe/hose upper retaining bolt.
3. Remove the tie strap (1) and slide the mesh sleeve down the hose to expose the mid crimp.
