Set pinion and valve assembly onto housing using J 37090. Use J 29822 pinion seal installer to push assembly into housing bore. DO NOT hammer
or use excessive force. If pinion and valve assembly does not fully seat in housing, check to be sure valve body rings are not binding in housing
bore. Check rings for cuts or damage. Repeat installation steps 1 through 5. If pinion and valve assembly will not align properly in housing bore,
replace rack and pinion assembly.
