1. NOTE: A service sector shaft will come assembled with the adjusting screw and retainer.
Inspect the sector shaft bearing and sealing areas and sector teeth contact surfaces. Check for brinelling, spalling or cracks and run your fingernail
edge across these areas to detect steps.
-
Remove masking tape from the shaft and inspect for twisted or otherwise damaged serrations.
-
If any of these conditions exist, replace the sector shaft.
2. If damage was not found in Step 1, place the sector shaft firmly in a soft-jawed vise and unstake the retainer and turn the retainer out of the sector
shaft pocket.
3. If necessary, remove the adjusting screw. If the adjusting screw is replaced, the retainer must also be replaced.
Assembly
1. If the adjusting screw has been removed, coat the expanded end of the new adjusting screw with a suitable grade of wheel bearing grease and
insert into the recess in end of the sector shaft.
