Rotary Valve: Reassembly

  1. Lubricate all valve body components with power steering fluid. Install replacement back-up "O" rings in seal grooves and install replacement seal rings over back-up rings. Take care not to damage seal rings during installation.
    NOTE: Teflon seal rings may appear to be distorted after installation. However, heat of operation will straighten them.
  2. Lubricate replacement spool valve damper "O" ring with petroleum jelly. Install on spool valve. Carefully insert spool valve into valve body.
  3. Push spool valve through valve body until locating pin hole is visible at opposite end of valve body and spool valve is flush with notched end of valve. Install the stub shaft into the spool valve and valve body.
  4. Be sure stub shaft locating pin is aligned with spool valve locating hole. Align notch in stub shaft cap with stub shaft locating pin and press sub shaft and spool valve into valve body. Install stub shaft cap "O" ring into valve body. Stub shaft locating pin must align with spool valve locating hole. See Fig 1 .
CAUTION: Before installing assembled valve body into gear housing, be sure valve body stub shaft locating pin is fully engaged in stub shaft cap notch. DO NOT  allow stub shaft to disengage from valve body pin.
