Installation Notes

Verify shaft diameter, outside diameter, and seal width before installation. Clean the sealing bore and shaft surface thoroughly, and inspect the pump shaft for scoring or wear that could affect sealing. Use proper steering system service procedures and fill with the correct fluid after repair.
