4. Screw off the two bolts Q1840816 of the steering

gear protection plates installed on the subframe with

a M10 socket wrench, and remove the steering gear

protection plate.

5. First fasten four hexagon nuts 2904013-S08 with a

M18 socket wrench, then screw off the four hexagon

bolt gasket groups 3411013-S08 and 3411014-S08

installed on the subframe with a M14 socket wrench.

6. Remove and replace the steering tie rod ball assembly.

Fasten the hexagon nuts in the cotter pins with a M12 socket

wrench, then loosen the steering tie rod ball with a M19

socket wrench, and then finally pull out steering tie rod ball

assembly.

2. Unscrew the hexagon bolts for flange face Q32008

connecting to the vehicle and low pressure pipe with a

M13 socket wrench. When installing, tightening torque

for this bolt is 9±2 N·m.

3. After removing the power steering gear and the

steering pipeline together with the subframe from the

overall vehicle, disconnect the coupling nut of steering

pipeline and steering gear's high-low pressure oil

port with a M19 wrench. The removal of the steering

pipeline is then complete. While installing this area,

please ensure the two O-rings are in good condition,

and connect the high and low pressure pipeline and

steering gear low pressure oil port according to the

locations shown in the diagram. The tightening torque

of the two nuts is 46±2 N·m.

Caution: The elastic clamp mentioned during the

removal process is disposable, please replace it with a

new one after removal.

Steering pipeline removal and installation

1. Disconnect the hollow bolt which connects the high

pressure oil pipe and the power steering pump with a

M22 socket wrench. When installing, please take note

of the two seal gaskets and do not allow the oil pump

port to loosen. Each of the seal gaskets should be

positioned at either side of the high pressure oil ring.

Tightening torque for the hollow bolt is 30±4 N·m.

Removal and installation of the power

steering pump on the engine:

Remove the power steering pump after removing the high

pressure port of the power steering pipeline and steering

pump, as well as the inlet hose.

1. Loosen and adjust the bracket's hexagon bolts

Q1401025 (M10×1.25) with a M13 socket wrench,

loosen the pump belt area, and then remove the

steering pump belt.

2. Loosen the hexagon flange mounting bolt Q1841090

(M10×1.25). After pulling out the hexagon flange mounting

bolt, complete the disassembly of the steering pump.

3. Tightening torque for installing the tension regulator

bracket: 40±4 N·m.

Install the tightening torque of the steering pump

mounting bracket: 25±3 N·m

4. After the installation of the power steering pump and

steering pump belt is completed, adjust the tension

of the entire power steering pump belt. Belt tension

should be 450±50 N.

Use an exertion force of 98 N in the middle of the belt.

Belt deflection should be 4-6 mm.

Power Steering Fluid Instructions

Replace the power steering fluid in the following situations:

1. After driving a new vehicle for 6000 km.

2. After replacing any part of the power steering gear, power steering pump and steering pipeline.

3. Driving 6000 km after replacing power steering gear and power steering pump.

Caution:

1. The expelled power steering fluid after replacing power steering components cannot be reused.

2. Only use ATF DEXRON III power steering fluid.

3. No matter when the PS fluid reservoir level drops, check the PS fluid reservoir, steering pump, power

steering gear, and steering pipeline, as well as all the connections.

Methods:

Two people are required to add power steering fluid. With the engine off, one person pours the fluid

into the PS fluid reservoir, while the other repeatedly turns the steering wheel from lock to lock for

more than 10 laps, until the steering fluid level is between MAX and MIN. Start the engine and turn

the wheel from lock to lock again (Caution: Do not leave it at the two extreme points for more than 5s).

When the fluid level goes down, refill the steering fluid until it is between MAX and MIN.

Technical Requirements

1. Mounting bolts with thread fastening glue for the power steering gear, tightening torque is 107±7 N·m

The coupling torque for the steering gear's tie rod and tie rod ball is 74±7 N·m

The coupling torque for the steering tie rod ball stud and steering knuckle is 49±5 N·m

2. The tightening torque for the steering column assembly and steering gear assembly's secure coupling

bolt is 25±3 N·m

The coupling bolt torque for the steering column and dashboard brace reinforcement is 25±3 N·m

Torque for the fixed steering wheel nut on the upper section of the steering column is 50±4 N·m

3. Fasten the steering wheel center

Keep the front wheel pointed straight ahead, make sure not to change the direction of the steering rod, and

take down the steering wheel. Install the steering wheel in the center. The steering wheel's radial should be

in the middle, and the Great Wall logo should be in the direct sight of the driver, then tighten nuts.

Tightening torque: 50±5 N·m

4. Steering wheel free clearance inspection

Keep the vehicle centered, stop the engine, and turn the wheel left with a force of about 5 N. If

resistance is felt, stop when the resistance increases. Then turn right and stop under the same

situation. Measure the angle that the steering wheel turns along the outer edge. The angle value

measured is the steering wheel's free clearance. Its standard value should be less than 20°, and from

the middle position it should not turn at a left or right angle larger than 10°.
