replaced to repair a leaking pinion shaft oil seal. The oil seal can not be purchased or repaired as an individual component. This bulletin provides
instructions on how to replace the pinion valve housing.
ACTION:
Note:
Before beginning work, ensure that the working area and steering rack exterior are thoroughly clean.
Parts removed from the pinion valve housing that are to be used in the rebuild should be stored in clean plastic bags, and the bags sealed.
Shop rags used for cleaning internal components must be clean and lint free.
