tant when repairing hydraulic
Steering Control Units (SCU).
Work in a clean area. Before
disconnecting the hydraulic

SCU. Before disassembly, drain
the oil, then plug the ports and
thoroughly clean the exterior of
the SCU. During repairs, always
protect machined surfaces.
1. Remove the seven cap
screws and disassemble the
SCU as shown in
