INSPECTION

NOTICE: When using a vise. do not overtighten it.





1. Measure oil clearance between vane pump shaft and bushing.
Using a micrometer and caliper gauge, measure the oil clearance.
Standard clearance: 0.030 - 0.045 mm (0.0012 - 0.0018 inch)
Minimum clearance: 0.07 mm (0.0028 inch)
If it is more than maximum, replace the front housing and vane pump shaft.





2. Inspect vane pump rotor and vane plates.
a. Using a micrometer, measure the height, thickness and length of the 10 plates.
Minimum:
Height: 8.0 mm (0.315 inch)
Thickness: 1.77 mm (0.0697 inch)
Length: 14.97 mm (0.5894 inch)





b. Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the rotor groove and plate.
Maximum clearance: 0.035 mm (0.0014 inch)





c. If it is more than maximum, replace the plate and/or rotor with one having the same mark stamped on the cam ring. Inscribed mark: 1, 2, 3, 4 or None.





HINT: There are 5 vane lengths with the following rotor and cam ring marks:





3. Inspect flow control valve.
a. Coat the flow control valve with power steering fluid and check that it falls smoothly into the valve hole by its own weight.





b. Check the valve for leakage. Close one of the holes and apply 392 - 490 kPa (57 - 71 psi) of compressed air into the opposite side, and confirm that air does not come out from the end holes.





c. If necessary, replace the valve with one having the same letter as inscribed on the front housing. Mark: A, B. C, D. E or F.





4. Inspect spring.
Using calipers, measure the free length of the spring.
Minimum free length: 36.0 mm (1.42 inch).
If it is not within the specification, replace the spring.





5. If necessary, replace oil seal.
a. Using SST 09631 - 10030, tap out the oil seal.

NOTICE: Be careful not to damage the front housing.

b. Coat a new oil seal lip with power steering fluid.





c. Using SST 09950-60010 (09951-00300), 09O50-70010 (09951-07100) and a press, press in the oil seal.

NOTICE: Make sure you install the oil seal facing the correct direction.





6. If necessary, replace bearing.
a. Using a snap ring expander, remove the snap ring from the vane pump shaft.

NOTICE: Be careful not to damage the shaft.

b. Using a press, press out the bearing.





c. Coat a new bearing with power steering fluid.
d. Using a press, press in the bearing.
e. Using a snap ring expander, install a new snap ring.

NOTICE: Be careful not to damage the shaft.





7. If necessary, replace union seat.
a. Using a screw extractor, remove the union seat.





b. Using an extension bar and hammer, tap in a new union seat.

NOTICE: Before installing the union seat, remove dust sticking to the front housing.
