Place the trunnion cover (6) on a bench to install
the new seal package. Start with the Teflon backup washer

is in place. The seal will not function if the seal is
reversed and a loss of power steering assist may
occur.

words OIL SIDE are visible after seal is in place.
c.
Grease the new trunnion cover seal ring (9) and

one layer of tape to avoid damaging the seals
during installation.

Install the trunnion cover (6) and four trunnion bolts
(5). Torque bolts to 15-22 ft-lb (20- 30 N.m) if dry or
11-16 ft-lb (15-22 N.m) if lubricated.

area inside of the small diameter ring. Assemble
protector boot onto sector shaft (4) and trunnion
cover (6) locating the grease fitting hole toward the
