NOTE

If the side cover bearing assembly has uncaged (loose) rolls, the

vertical position will allow the side cover bearing rolls to fall into

the side cover, where you may easily collect and count them.

Immediately gather all of the side cover bearing rolls and count

them.

CAUTION

Take care not to lose any rolls during disassembly and

assembly, or you will have to replace the complete side cover

assembly.

WARNING

If the bearing is the uncaged (loose) roll type, do not mix the

rolls from the side cover with the rolls from the housing bearing.

the bearing race and rolls are a matched set. Interchanging the

rolls could result in premature bearing or seal failure, which

could cause a loss of power steering.
