Remove the power steering pump
Use a press with a puller with grippers.
Installation
Press the pulley using the tool (Dir1083-01) until the press-on size is obtained (copiously lubricate the threads and the bearing surface of the pulley) (fig. 2)
Keep the pulley press-on dimension, X = 25.4 mm ±0.4 (fig. 3)
Checking the intermediate shaft
Check
These cars are equipped with a non-separable assembly "telescopic shaft - steering shaft - steering column".
If the steering shaft yoke terminal bolt cannot be tightened, or after a collision you are satisfied that the length of the telescopic shaft is correct, replace the entire steering column assembly (fig. 4).
Check that the length of the telescopic shaft is: L = 313.90 ±1 mm.
Never pull on the telescopic shaft (after impact).
