PUMP BELT TENSION
ADJUSTMENT
Pump drive belt tension cannot be
checked accurately using the thumb
pressure or belt deflection methods.
Correct belt adjustment is assured
only with the use of a belt tension
gauge.
1.
Check the belt tension with a
gauge. With a new belt, or one that
has been run for less than 15 min-
utes, the tension should be within
120-150 lbs. With a belt that has been
run for more than 15 minutes, the
*
tension should be within 90-120 lbs.
2.
To adjust the belt, loosen the
pump pivot and adjusting bolts to
allow movement of the bracket in its
adjusting slot. Move the pump as
req&red, and snugly tighten the bolts.
Do not move the pump
by
lifting
or pulling on the reservoir.
3.
Recheck the belt tension. When
the tension has been correctly ad-
justed, tighten the bolts to 22-28
ft-
lbs torque.
FILTER REPLACEMENT
1.
Remove the cover from the
power steering pump or reservoir
and remove the gasket. Clean the
gasket surface.
2.
Remove the fluid with a suction
gun.
3.
Lift the hold-down spring, wash-
er and the filter element from the
reservoir.
4.
Wipe the reservoir clean with a
lint-free cloth.
5.
Position a new filter unit on the
seat (Fig. 4).
6.
Cement (M2G14-A) a new
cover gasket around the inside of the
cover.
7.
Position the retaining washer
and the hold-down spring on the
filter element.
8.
Install the cover and gasket.
On
units equipped with remote mounted
reservoir, turn the wing nut down
until it is flush with the top of the
SPEED-UP
CONTROL
stud.
9.
Fill the reservoir and check for
leaks.
10.
Recheck the fluid level and re-
plenish the fluid as required.
