(38)
Remove and discard the worm shaft seal ring (54). Then remove and discard the worm shaft “O"
ring (55) from the worm shaft/input shaft (1).
WARNING
During step (39) you should wear eye protection, as the spring
and loaded poppets could eject, and cause eye injury.

It is not usually required to service the poppet assembly. If required, however, position the rack
jaws. Then, remove two retaining rings (56), two poppet seats (57), two poppets (58), nylon spacer
rod (59), and spring (60).
CAUTION
If the bearing is cocked while you press it out, it will burnish the
bore, causing it to become oversized. You will then have to
replace the gear housing.
(40)
The housing bearing assembly (16) or race should only be removed if you determine that the
bearing must be replaced after following cleaning and inspection procedures. Remove the bearing
in the following manner: Use bearing mandrel to apply pressure from the side cover opening and
press the bearing out through the trunnion cover opening. Maintain a good, square contact
between the housing and press base to avoid damaging the housing bearing bore. Remove
retaining ring (61) from bearing. Discard bearing.
