Inspection and Repair

Make all necessary adjustments, repairs, and part
replacements if wear, damage, or other problems are
discovered during inspection.

Rotor

442RS002

Check that the groove in the vane is free from excessive
wear and that the vane slides smoothly. When part
replacement becomes necessary, the pump cartridge
should be replaced as a subassembly.

Vane

442RS003

Sliding faces of the vane should be free from wear.
(Particularly the curved face at the tip that contact with the
cam should be free from wear and distortion). When part
replacement becomes necessary, the pump cartridge
should be replaced as a subassembly.

Cam

The inner face of the arm should have a uniform contact
pattern without a sign of step wear. When part
replacement becomes necessary, the pump cartridge
should be replaced as a subassembly.

Side Plate

The sliding faces of parts must be free from step wear
(more than 0.01 mm), which can be felt by the finger nail.
The parts with minor scores may be reused after lapping
the face.

Valve

The sliding face of the valve must be free from burrs and
damage. The parts with minor scores may be reused after
smoothing with emery cloth (#800 or finer).

Shaft

Oil seal sliding faces must be free from a step wear which
can be felt by the finger nail. Needle bearing fitting face
must be free from damage and wear.

O-ring, Oil Seal, Retaining Ring

Be sure to discard used parts, and always use new parts
for installation.  Prior to installation, lubricate all seals and
rings with power steering fluid.

Pressure Switch

Check the switch operation as follows:
With engine idling and A/C on, turn the steering wheel
fully to the left; compressor should interrupt and engine
idle speed will increase. Shut off A/C and again turn
steering fully to the left; engine idle will increase. If system
fails to function properly, disconnect connector at the
pressure switch and repeat system check while testing
continuity across disconnected SW connector.

Reassembly

1. Install rear housing.
2. Install pin.
3. Install cam.
4. Install the rotor with punch mark facing the front

housing.
