Gear Housing Overhaul

DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove snap ring from lower end of steering gear housing.





2. Remove power steering gear sector shaft dust seal using Puller T58L-101-B. Discard the seal.

NOTE: The bearing is not a separately serviceable item; it is part of the steering gear housing.

3. Remove power steering gear sector shaft housing oil seal in the same manner. Discard the steering gear sector shaft housing oil seal.





ASSEMBLY
1. Lubricate the new steering gear sector shaft housing oil seal and power steering gear sector shaft dust seal with clean Multi-Purpose Grease DOAZ-19584-AA or equivalent meeting Ford specifications ESB-M1C93-A and ESR-M1C159-A.
2. Apply Multi-Purpose Grease DOAZ-19584-AA or equivalent meeting Ford specifications ESB-M1C93-A and ESR-M1C159-A to the sector shaft seal bore.
3. Place the new power steering gear sector shaft dust seal on Sector Shaft Seal Replacer T77L-3576-A so the raised lip of the power steering gear sector shaft dust seal is toward the tool.
3. Place the steering gear sector shaft housing oil seal on the tool with lip away from the tool. The flat back side of the steering gear sector shaft housing oil seal should be against the flat side of the power steering gear sector shaft dust seal.

CAUTION: Do not bottom steering gear sector shaft housing oil seal and power steering gear sector shaft dust seal against bearing. The seal will not function properly when bottomed against the bearing.

4. Insert the Sector Shaft Seal Replacer T77L-3576-A into the sector shaft bore and drive the tool until the steering gear sector shaft housing oil seal and power steering gear sector shaft dust seal clear the snap ring groove.
5. Install snap ring in the groove in the steering gear housing.
