REMOVAL
1. Drain the hydraulic fluid from the pump. To do this, disconnect the hose from the return pipe and plug the hose. Connect a length of hose to the

pumped out of the steering gear. Turn the steering wheel from full lock to full lock. Switch off the engine when no more fluid runs out into the
bottle.
IMPORTANT: Never allow the pump to run dry.
2. Remove the hose and the bottle or other receptacle and reconnect the return hose to the pipe connection.
3. Remove the air cleaner.
4. Remove the belt from the pump pulley.
5. Remove the delivery pipe from the pump.
