Install Steering Metering Valve
1. Put the steering metering valve on the floor plates. Connect the oil lines (1) to the valve.
2. Push the valve into position under the dash. Be sure the teeth on steering shaft are in alignment in the gear of the valve.
3. Install the four bolts (2) that hold the valve on the column.
4. Push the column into position and install the bolts (3) that hold column to dash. Install the pin at top.
Disassemble Steering Metering Valve
start by:
a) remove steering metering valve
1. Remove the bolts (17) that hold the gear set together.
2. Remove bottom plate (16), bottom gear set (14), spacer (15), spline (12), spacers (11) and (13), top gear set (10), top plate (9) and drive (6).
3 Remove snap ring (4) from housing (19).
4. Remove bushing (2). Remove seals (1) and the O-ring seal from bushing.
5. Remove two races (3) and bearing (5).
6. Remove spool and sleeve (18) as a unit from the housing (19).
NOTE: Spool, sleeve and valve housing are not serviced separately. Check these parts, if worn or damaged, replace with a new valve housing assembly.
7. Remove pin (21) and sleeve (20) from spool (22).
8. Remove the six springs (23) from spool.
9. Remove spring (8) and ball (7) from housing (19).
NOTE: This check valve will let oil flow from one port to the other when there is no pump pressure.
Assemble Steering Metering Valve
| NOTICE |
|---|
All parts must be clean and free from dirt before assembly. Inspect all parts to see if they have been damaged by dirt or metal particles. Parts having a small amount of damage can be cleaned with 600 grit abrasive paper by hand rubbing only. |
1. Install ball (19) and spring (10) in housing (6).
2. Install the six springs (4), three springs into spool (3) then the other springs. The curves of the first three springs must be against the curve of the last three installed. The notch on each end of the springs will be up.
3. Install sleeve (1) over the spool (3) so the groove in bottom of sleeve is engaged with ends of springs (4). Install pin (2).
4. Push spool and sleeve (5) as a unit into valve housing (6) with a little rotation motion.
5. Install two races (17) and bearing (9) in housing.
6. Install O-ring seal and seals (16) on bushing. Install bushing (7) and snap ring (8) in housing.
7. Put the housing in a vise with the lower end up.
8. Install drive (20) and plate (11) on housing with notch in drive (20) over pin (18).
9. Install top gear set (22) with pin (18) in alignment with point between teeth of inner gear (21). There are six correct ways and six incorrect ways to install this.
NOTE: If this is not installed correctly, the valve will not operate, the gear will stop and steering wheel can not be turned any farther.
10. Install spacers (12), spline (13), bottom gear set (23), spacer (14), bottom plate (24) and bolts (15). Tighten bolts to a torque of 20 lb.ft. (2,8 mkg).
