9. Release clips and remove air intake hose from air cleaner housing. Note: Pre 03 MY air intake hose illustrated.
10. Discard intake 'O' ring and move intake aside for access.

11. Loosen union securing high pressure pipe to PAS pump and release pipe.

12. Fit adaptor LRT-57-034A to high pressure port of PAS pump.
13. Fit adaptor LRT-57-035 to existing high pressure hose.
14. Fit hose LRT-57-002/3 to each adaptor.
15. Fit pressure gauge LRT-57-005 to test valve LRT-57-001
16. Connect hoses LRT-57-002/3 to LRT-57-001 and tighten unions.
17. Hang pressure gauge in a safe position under bonnet.
18. Remove PAS reservoir filler cap, fill to level indicator and refit cap.
19. Connect battery earth lead.
20. Start engine and allow air to bleed from PAS system by turning steering from lock to lock. Stop engine and check PAS fluid level.
21. Ensure steering system and test equipment are free from leaks.
22. Maintain maximum fluid level during test.
23. Open the test valve on LRT-57-001 and start the engine.
24. With the engine at idle, slowly turn the steering wheel and hold on full lock.
25. Note the pressure reading on LRT-57-005.
26. Repeat the pressure check for the opposite full lock.
27. Test pressure should be between 21 and 62 bar, (300 to 900) psi. Dependant on road surface.
28. With the engine at idle, centralise the steering wheel. Pressure should read 7 bar (100 psi) or below.
29. Pressures outside the above tolerance indicates a fault.
30. To determine if fault is in steering pump or steering box, close the valve on LRT-57-001 for a maximum of 5 seconds. Pump damage may occur if test valve is closed for longer periods.
31. If gauge does not register between 75 and 103 bar, (1500 psi), (maximum pump pressure), the pump is faulty.
32. If maximum pump pressure is correct suspect the steering box.
