L5-14 Steering Component Repair L05026
Cleaning and Inspection
1. Clean all parts carefully with fresh cleaning sol-
vent.
2. Inspect all parts carefully and make any replace-
ments necessary.
NOTE: All O-rings, seals and neutral position springs
should be replaced with new. Prior to reassembly
thoroughly lubricate all parts with clean type C-4
hydraulic oil.
Assembly
NOTE: When assembling the spool and sleeve, only
one of the two possible matching positions of the
spring slots can be used. The reason is that in the
other end of the sleeve and spool (opposite end of
the spring slots) there are three slots in the spool and
three holes in the sleeve. These must be opposite
each other on assembly so that the holes are partly
visible through the slots in the spool, refer to Figure
5-14.
1. To install the neutral position springs, place a
screwdriver in the spool slot as shown in Figure
5-15.
2. Place one flat neutral position spring on each
side of the screwdriver blade. Do not remove
screwdriver.
3. Push two curved neutral position springs in
between one side of the screwdriver blade and
a flat spring. Repeat for the opposite side.
Remove the screwdriver.
4. Slide the inner spool in the sleeve. Compress
the ends of the neutral position springs and
push the neutral position springs in place in the
sleeve.
5. Install the cross pin (9, Figure 5-18).
