Thoroughly clean the outer surfaces of parts before disassembly.
Disassembly must be carried out in a clean room. It is necessary to completely exclude the ingress of dirt and foreign particles into the steering mechanism.
Use a nylon cloth or paper towels to clean parts. Ordinary fabric may leave fibers that will interfere with the normal operation of the mechanism.
Thoroughly clean all parts in a non-flammable solvent before inspection or assembly.
Apply ATF to all parts of the hydraulic system before assembly. O-rings and seals can be lubricated with petroleum jelly. Do not use greases.
