POWER STEERING

VI. Dismantling the steering unit

A) Removing and dismantling the housing cover

1. Clamp the steering unit in the assembly vice 3,

or between the soft jaws of a commercially

available vice.

2. Remove the hexagonal bolts (46) and also remove

the housing cover (40) by turning the adjustment

screw (31) in a clockwise direction (Figure 4.)

Further dismantling in ZF factory only or ZF

dealers

B) Removing sector shaft

Withdraw the sector shaft (30) in the center position

of the gearing (tooth), upwards out of the housing

(Figure 5).

Further dismantling in ZF factory or ZF

authorized dealers only

C) Removing the piston

1. Remove the protective cap (70) from the worm

end. Screw out the securing bolts (132) (Fig. 6).

A burr (ridge) may have formed on the side of the

piston gearing depending on the service duty of

the steering unit, and this will damage the piston

running surface when the piston is removed from

the housing. This can be avoided if the unit is

dismantled horizontally overhead (gearing (tooth)

uppermost). ( Fig.7) shows dismantling in favorable

position.
