Disassembly/Reassembly Spring
Cleanliness is extremely important when repairing a steering control unit. Spacer

Requirement Figure
Assure that all parts are free from rust, other contaminants, nicks and 3
burrs at time of reassembly.
Lubricate o-ring seals with Mobilith SCH 220 high temperature grease. Gerotor (Meter)
(If the o-ring seals used in meter section are lubricated with petroleum Star Valley Align
jelly for assembly purpose, the amount of petroleum jelly used should with Mark on Drive
be minimal to avoid spreading the grease on the surfaces that form the Spline
interfaces between end cap and gerotor ring and between gerotor ring C
and spacer plate). Sea

Recommended Torquing Procedure
8Torque all cap screws to 11-17 Nm [100-150 lb-in] evenly, then 3 4
to final torque in sequence shown (figure 5) to 31-37 Nm [275-325
lb-in].
NNooottteee: Seven cap screws for meter section should be torqued
evenly with less than 5% variation (see figure 5). Tightening torque
variation between 31-37 Nm [275-325 lb-in] to satisfy travel limit slip 5 2
rate and input torque require- ments (see figure 6) is permissible.
9When input drive at spline is rotated, gerotor star shall rotate 7 Fig.

reassembly and tightening of the seven cap screws to final torque Figure
level per Step 8. 5
