Power Steering Link -- Removal |
1. PLACE FRONT WHEELS FACING STRAIGHT AHEAD |
2. DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL |
4. SEPARATE STEERING SLIDING YOKE |
Secure the steering wheel with the seat belt in order to prevent rotation.
- HINT:
- This operation is useful to prevent damage to the spiral cable.
Remove the bolt and slide the steering sliding yoke.
- NOTICE:
- Do not separate the steering sliding yoke from the power steering link assembly.
Put matchmarks on the steering sliding yoke and the power steering link assembly.
Separate the steering sliding yoke from the power steering link assembly.
5. SEPARATE TIE ROD ASSEMBLY LH |
Remove the cotter pin and the nut.
Using SST, separate the tie rod assembly LH from the steering knuckle.
- SST
- 09628-00011
- NOTICE:
- Hang SST with a string, etc. to prevent it from falling.
- Do not damage the front disc brake dust cover.
- Do not damage the ball joint dust cover.
- Do not damage the steering knuckle.
6. SEPARATE TIE ROD ASSEMBLY RH |
- HINT:
- Perform the same procedure as for the LH side.
7. REMOVE ENGINE ASSEMBLY WITH TRANSAXLE |
- HINT:
- Refer to the instructions for removal of the engine assembly (CAMRY_ACV40 RM000000YIN00WX.html for 2GR-FE).
8. DISCONNECT PRESSURE FEED TUBE ASSEMBLY (for LHD) |
Using SST, disconnect the pressure feed tube assembly (return tube side) from the power steering link assembly.
- SST
- 09023-12701
Using SST, disconnect the pressure feed tube assembly (pressure feed tube side) from the power steering link assembly.
- SST
- 09023-12701
Remove the 2 bolts and separate the pressure feed tube clamp.
9. DISCONNECT STEERING GEAR OUTLET RETURN TUBE (for 2AZ-FE RHD) |
Slide the clip and disconnect the steering gear outlet return tube.
10. REMOVE RETURN TUBE ASSEMBLY (for 2AZ-FE RHD) |
Using SST, remove the return tube assembly from the power steering link assembly.
- SST
- 09023-12701
11. DISCONNECT PRESSURE FEED TUBE ASSEMBLY (for 2AZ-FE RHD) |
Using SST, disconnect the pressure feed tube assembly from the power steering link assembly.
- SST
- 09023-12701
Remove the bolt and separate the pressure feed tube clamp.
12. DISCONNECT STEERING GEAR OUTLET RETURN TUBE (for 2GR-FE RHD) |
Slide the clip and disconnect the steering gear outlet return tube.
13. REMOVE RETURN TUBE ASSEMBLY (for 2GR-FE RHD) |
Using SST, remove the return tube assembly from the power steering link assembly.
- SST
- 09023-12701
14. DISCONNECT PRESSURE FEED TUBE ASSEMBLY (for 2GR-FE RHD) |
Using SST, disconnect the pressure feed tube assembly from the power steering link assembly.
- SST
- 09023-12701
Remove the bolt and separate the pressure feed tube clamp.
15. REMOVE POWER STEERING LINK ASSEMBLY |
Remove the 2 bolts, 2 nuts, and the power steering link assembly.
- NOTICE:
- Because the nut has its own stopper, do not turn the nut. Loosen the bolt with the nut fixed.
16. REMOVE POWER STEERING RACK HOUSING HEAT INSULATOR (for 2GR-FE LHD) |
Remove the power steering rack housing heat insulator from the power steering link assembly.
17. REMOVE POWER STEERING RACK HOUSING HEAT INSULATOR (for 2GR-FE RHD) |
Remove the bolt and power steering rack housing heat insulator from the power steering link assembly.
