STEERING CONTROL REASSEMBLY
Place housing in vise with control end up. Protect 14-hole end as before, and clamp across port surface lightly.
Drop check valve spring into check hole with large end down (refer to Fig. 24).
Drop check ball into check hole and insure that it rests on top of the small end of the spring within the hole
(refer to Fig. 25). Place the check valve seat on hex wrench and screw into threads within check hole so that
the machined counterbore of the check seat is towards the ball (refer to Fig. 26).
Tighten check seat to 12.5 lb ft (16.94 Nm) torque. (Refer to Fig. 27.) Test check ball action by pushing ball
with small clean pin against spring force. Ball need not be snug against seat for proper function.
Install spool within sleeve carefully so that spring slots of both parts will be at same end. Rotate while sliding
parts together. (Refer to Fig. 28 and 29.) Test for free rotation. Spool should rotate smoothly in sleeve with
fingertip force applied at splined end.
