STEERING GEAR
back   adjusting   screw   out   one   turn   and   measure
torque  required  to  rotate  worm  shaft  (17),  thru  90
deg.  each side of center of steering gear travel.  This
torque must not exceed 1.7 Nm (15 in.lbs.).  Tighten
adjusting  screw  and  torque  nut  (38)  to  95-109  N
m
(70-80  ft.lbs.),  after  tightening  nut  torque  to  rotate
worm shaft must rise .45-.79 Nm (4-7 in.lbs.) above
torque checked previously (Fig.  35).
30.  
Apply   a   generous   amount   of   clean   wheel   bearing
grease to bearing race inside side cover (58) to retain
bearing    rolls;    assemble    forty-four    bearing    rolls.
Grease must retain rolls.
31.  
Assemble   washer   (56),   back-up   washer   (55),   two-
piece seal (54) and retaining ring (53) into side cover

38.  
Apply  clean  grease  to  short  bearing  area  of  sector
shaft   (50)   and   insert   into   side   cover   (58);   screw
adjusting  screw  (51)  into  side  cover  until  it  reaches
solid  height.    The  side  cover  should  rotate  freely  on
sector   shaft   with   no   appreciable   axial   movement
(Fig.  38).

Apply  clean  grease  to  side  cover  gasket  (57)  and
assemble  onto  side  cover  (58).    Grease  must  hold
side cover gasket in place.
36.  
Rotate worm shaft (17) to position rack piston (31) in
center  of  steering  gear  travel.  Align  center  tooth  on
sector shaft (50) with third notch from seal ring (29)
end  on  rack  piston  and  assemble  sector  shaft  with
side  cover  attached  into  housing  (20);  care  must  be
taken to not pinch side cover gasket and to be certain
that   sector   shaft   goes   thru   housing   bearing   (21)
without knocking out bearing rolls (Figs.  39 and 40).
