Special Tools Required 

Disassembly 

NOTE: Refer to the EXPLODED VIEW  as needed during the following procedure.
  1. Drain the fluid from the pump.
  2. Remove the power steering pump (see PUMP REPLACEMENT  ).
  3. Hold the power steering pump (A) in a vise with soft jaws (B), then hold the pulley (C) with the special tool (D), and remove the pulley nut (E) and pulley. Be careful not to damage the pump housing with the jaws of the vise.

  4. Remove the inlet joint and O-ring.
  5. Loosen the flow control valve cap with a hex wrench, and remove it and the O-ring, the flow control valve and spring.
  6. Remove the pump cover and pump cover seal.
  7. Remove the outer side plate, cam ring, rotor, vanes, side plate and O-rings.
  8. Remove the snap ring, then remove the subvalve from the pump housing.
  9. Remove the snap ring, then remove the pump driveshaft by tapping the shaft end with a plastic hammer.
  10. Remove the seal from the pump housing.

    Inspection 

  11. Check the flow control valve for wear, burrs, and other damage to the edges of the grooves in the valve.

  12. Inspect the bore of the flow control valve on the pump housing for scratches and wear.
  13. Slip the flow control valve back in the pump housing, and check that it moves in and out smoothly. If OK, go to step 14; if not, replace the pump as an assembly. The flow control valve (A) is not available separately.

  14. Attach a hose (A) to the end of the flow control valve (B) as shown. Then submerge the flow control valve in a container of power steering 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 flow control valve is not available separately.
    • If the flow control valve OK, set it aside for reassembly later.

  16. Inspect each part shown with an asterisk in the Exploded View. If any of them are worn or damaged, replace the pump as an assembly.

    Reassembly 

  17. Align the pin (A) of the subvalve (B) with the oil passage (C) in the pump housing, and push the subvalve into place, then install the snap ring (D).
