3. Loosen the union thread of the high and low pressure pipes on the steering gear assembly

4. Remove the boot band and No. 1, No. 2 boots

5. Disconnect the power steering gear assembly from the steering column

Remove the steering gear pinion shaft spline lock bolt on the universal joint yoke

6. Remove power steering gear assembly

Remove 4 steering gear assembly set bolts, remove the power steering gear assembly

7. Installation is in the reverse order of the removal

Notice:

(1) Insert the steering gear pinion shaft spline into the spline hole of the universal joint

yoke, make sure that the positions of the notch of the steering gear pinion shaft and the

lock bolt of the universal joint yoke are correct

(2) Secure the power steering gear with 4 bolts, torque: 63~93N.m

(3) Tighten the steering gear pinion shaft spline lock bolt on the universal joint yoke, torque:

22~34N.m

(4) Tighten the 4 set bolts of the boot band and boot torque: 16~26N.m

(5) Install the union thread of the power steering high and low pressure pipe to the power

steering gear, torque: 19~33N.m

(6) Connect the tie rod ball stud pin with the steering knuckle, make sure that the mating

surface of the tie rod ball stud pin and the steering knuckle is clean, tighten the slot nut,

torque: 27~39N.m. Install the cotter pin, make sure of the correct installation

(7) Add appropriate amount of specified power steering fluid, bleed the power steering sys-

tem

(8) Check the power steering pipeline system for leakage

(9) Check the front wheel alignment and front wheel left and right limit turn angle, adjust the

toe in if necessary and tighten the tie rod lock nut

(10) Check the position of the steering wheel. It is required that the steering wheel spokes

are basically symmetrical when the vehicle is driven straight ahead, reassemble the steering

wheel if necessary

Chapter 9 Brake System

Section 1 Brake System

Precaution

1. It's very important to keep the parts and area clean when repairing the brake system.

2. Care must be taken to replace each part properly as it could affect the performance of the brake

system and result in a driving hazard.

3. Do not let brake fluid remain on a painted surface when repairing any parts. Wash it off

immediately.

4. If any work is done on the brake system or air in the brake pipelines is suspected, bleed the

system of air.

5. Check the brake system for leakage after repairing the brake system.

6. Use specified brake fluid. Do not mix with other brand of brake fluid.

Problem symptoms table

3. Piston Cup in Sub-pump (worn or damaged)

4. Rear brake shoe clearance (out of adjustment)

5. Master cylinder (faulty)

6. Booster push rod (out of adjustment)

7. Brake shoe or lining (oily)

8. Disc/Drum scratched

1. Brake pedal free stroke is too small

2. Parking brake lever stroke (out of adjustment)

3. Parking brake cable (sticking)

4. Rear brake shoe clearance (out of adjustment)

5. Brake pad or lining (cracked or distorted)

Section 2 Brake Fluid

Bleeding

1. Fill brake reservoir with brake fluid

Brake fluid: JG4 GB10830

2. Bleed brake pipeline system

(1) Connect the vinyl pipe to the wheel cylinder bleeder plug port

(2) Depress the brake pedal several times, and then loosen the bleeder plug with the pedal held down.

(3) At the point when fluid stops flowing out, tighten the bleeder plug, and then release the brake pedal.

(4) Repeat (2) and (3) until all the air in the fluid has been bled out.

(5) Repeat the above procedure to bleed the brake pipeline of the air for each wheel cylinder.

Notice: Fill brake fluid into the reservoir all the time when bleeding.

3. Check fluid level in reservoir

Check the fluid level and fill fluid if necessary.

Symptom

Suspect area

1. Wheel cylinder piston (stuck)

2. Brake shoe lining (oily)

3. Disc (scratched)

4. Brake shoes or lining (cracked or distorted)

5. Wheel hub bearing (worn or damaged)

Tire pressure (not as specified)

1. Brake shoe lining (damaged)

2. Installation bolt (loose)

3. Disc (scratched)

4. Brake shoe (bad in quality)

5. Brake shoes lining (oily)
