Steering Gear Disassembly
1.
Remove the short cylinder tube (from rear housing to pinion housing) from steering gear. Then remove steering gear from the vehicle.
2.
Allow all the power steering fluid to drain from the system while the gear is being rebuilt. Drain as much fluid from the gear as possible by rotating
the pinion from lock to lock while holding the pinion housing over a drain pan. Also drain the fluid in each boot into the drain pan by
disconnecting the breather tube, removing each boot clamp and pulling the boot away from the steering gear.
3.
Remove the long cylinder tube and the breather hose. Install steering gear on Power Steering Stand J28817 (Figure 1). If this tool is not available,
DO NOT clamp the cylinder assembly in a vise. This will distort the cylinder assembly and cause the rack piston to bind or leak. Instead, clamp
the pinion housing in a vise with soft jaws.
4.
Flatten both lock plates, and disconnect the inner tie rod sockets from the rack. On 50th Anniversary models, there will be a rack spacer at each
end of the rack. Remove and save these spacers.
5.
Inspect the boots for cracks, splits or other damage. If the boots are undamaged, they can be cleaned and used again. If they are damaged, they
must be replaced [P/N 48203-05F00 (RH), 48204-05F00 (LH)]. If the boots are damaged, separate the inner and outer tie rod sockets, and remove
and discard the boots. Save the dust cover clamps (O-rings) to use with the new boots.
