11. Fit LRT-57-041 adaptor to steering box.
12. Fit PAS cooler pipe to LRT-57-041, align retaining clip and tighten Allen bolt to 25 Nm (18 lbf.ft).
13. Hang pressure gauge in a safe position under bonnet.
14. Remove PAS reservoir filler cap, fill to level indicator and refit cap.
15. Connect battery earth lead.
16. Start engine and allow air to bleed from PAS system by turning steering from lock to lock. Stop engine and check PAS fluid level.
17. Ensure steering system and test equipment are free from leaks.
18. Open test valve on LRT-57-001 and start engine.
19. With the engine at idle, slowly turn the steering wheel and hold on full lock.
20. Note the pressure reading on LRT-57-005.
21. Repeat the pressure check for the opposite full lock.
22. Test pressure should be between 21 and 62 bar, (300 to 900) psi. Dependant on road surface.
23. With the engine at idle, centralise the steering wheel. Pressure should read 7 bar (100 psi) or below.
24. Pressure outside the above tolerance indicates a fault.
25. 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.
26. If gauge does not register between 75 and 103 bar, (1500 psi), (maximum pump pressure), the pump is faulty.
27. If maximum pump pressure is correct suspect the steering box.
28. On completion stop engine, disconnect battery earth lead and syphon fluid from PAS reservoir.
29. Remove test equipment from LRT-57-002.
30. Remove bolt and clip from steering box.
31. Release PAS cooler pipe from LRT-57-041 and discard 'O' ring. Leaving PAS reservoir oil feed pipe in place, release LRT-57-041 from steering box and discard 'O' ring.
32. Fit new 'O' rings to PAS cooler pipe.
33. Fit PAS cooler pipe to steering box, align retaining clip, fit bolt and tighten to 25 Nm (18 lbf.ft).
34. Remove PAS reservoir filler cap, fill to level indicator and refit cap.
35. Clean chassis member.
36. Fit splash shield and secure with screws.
37. Connect battery earth lead.
38. Start engine.
39. Start engine and allow air to bleed from PAS system, by turning steering from lock to lock.
40. Visually check PAS system for leaks.
41. Check power steering fluid, if aerated, wait until fluid is free from bubbles then top-up reservoir to 'UPPER' level mark.
42. Visually check PAS system for leaks.
43. Dismantle test equipment.
