Cleanliness is extremely impor-
tant when repairing hydraulic
Steering Control Units (SCU).
Work in a clean area. Before
disconnecting the hydraulic
lines, clean the port area of the
SCU. Before disassembly, drain
the oil, then plug the ports and
thoroughly clean the exterior of
the SCU. During repairs, always
protect machined surfaces.
