fluid or solvent (C) and blow in the hose.

If air bubbles leak through the valve at less than 98 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm2, 14.2 psi), replace the pump as an assembly. The pressure control valve
is not available separately.

If the pressure control valve is OK, set it aside for reassembly later.
18. Inspect the ball bearing by rotating the outer race slowly. If you feel any play (axial or radial) or roughness, remove the faulty ball bearing (A), and
install a new one (B).
