6. Having used a piece of a pipe with an internal diameter of 38.5 ÷ 39.5 mm as a mandrel, press from a shaft the bearing assembled with the washer enclosed under it.

The epiploon is subject to replacement without fail!

Before installation carefully clear all components, having completely removed from them dirt traces, oil deposits and traces of corrosion. Estimate a condition of a case of the steering mechanism, in case of identification of cracks, deformations and other mechanical damages make replacement.

1. By means of a mandrel of ST 34199AE050 put the NEW sealing cuff in a case of the steering mechanism, - continue to press a cuff until the flange of a mandrel (But) does not rest against a case cut (In). Track that the cuff was developed correctly, try not to scratch internal walls of the cylinder.

Before installation grease cuff sponges with pure hydraulic liquid.
