17. Removal of rack piston seal ring and O-ring
a. Using a sharp-edged, long rod, remove seal ring and O-ring from rack piston. Be careful not to scratch outer surface of rack piston and seal
ring groove. A scratch may reduce the sealing effect, resulting in faulty piston operation.
b. Wash clean rack piston.
c. Install O-ring and seal ring in groove on rack piston.
NOTE: Do not expand O-ring and seal ring more than necessary. To facilitate installation of seal ring, first position one half of entire seal ring in
groove. Then slowly position the second half using a spatula, as shown.
d. Apply a coat of grease to inner surface of FORMER (special tool) and insert rack piston into it. Leave FORMER at least 10 minutes until seal
ring settles down in place. Be careful not to scratch rack, piston and seal ring during installation.
