Vane Pump (For Kd Series Engine) Installation

Coat a new O-ring with MP grease and install it to the vane pump.

Install the pump with the 2 nuts.

Torque:

39 N*m{398 kgf*cm, 29 ft.*lbf}

Using a union nut wrench, connect the tube to the vane pump with a new gasket and the union bolt.

Torque:

44 N*m (449 kgf*cm, 33 ft.*lbf) for use without union nut wrench
40 N*m (407 kgf*cm, 30 ft.*lbf) for use with union nut wrench

Connect the oil reservoir to pump hose with the clip.

HINT:

1. Install the pump side of the hose so that the paint mark faces the front of the vehicle. Align the reservoir tank side of the hose to the tank port rib.
   
2. Make sure the clamp's claw on the pump side faces the front of the vehicle. Also make sure the clamp's claw on the reservoir tank side faces the top of the vehicle.
   

Check the fluid level.

Jack up the front of the vehicle and support it with stands.

Turn the steering wheel.

1. With the engine stopped, turn the steering wheel slowly from lock to lock several times.
   

Lower the vehicle.

Start the engine. Run the engine at idle for a few minutes.

Turn the steering wheel.

1. With the engine idling, turn the steering wheel to the left or right full lock position and hold it there for 2 to 3 seconds. Then turn the steering wheel to the opposite full lock position and hold it there for 2 to 3 seconds.
   

2. Repeat the step above several times.
   

Stop the engine.

Check for foaming or emulsification. If the system has to be bled twice because of foaming or emulsification, check for fluid leaks in the system.

Check the fluid level.

Keep the vehicle level.

With the engine stopped, check the power steering fluid level in the oil reservoir. If necessary, add power steering fluid.

Power steering fluid:

ATF "DEXRON'' II or III

HINT:

If the fluid is hot, check that the fluid level is within the HOT range on the oil reservoir. If the fluid is cold, check that the fluid level is within the COLD range.

Start the engine and run it at idle.

Turn the steering wheel to the left or right full lock position, and then turn the wheel to the opposite full lock position. Repeat this several times to raise fluid temperature.

Standard fluid temperature:

75 to 80°C (167 to 176°F)

Check for foaming or emulsification. If foaming or emulsification is identified, bleed air from the power steering system.

With the engine idling, measure the fluid level in the oil reservoir.

Stop the engine.

Wait a few minutes and remeasure the fluid level in the oil reservoir.

Maximum fluid level increase:

5 mm (0.20 in.)

Check the fluid level.

Install the crossmember brace with the 8 bolts.
