To dismantle
1.
Remove the return guide clamp screws and re-
move the clamp.

Place the assembly on a clean cloth and remove
the ball return guides and rack-piston arbor (RH 7787).
Make sure that all the

balls are caught in the cloth.
Rack-piston and worm assembly-
To inspect
1.
Inspect the worm and rack-piston grooves and
all the balls for excessive wear or scoring. If either the
worm or the rack-piston require renewal, both must
be renewed as a matched assembly.
2.
Inspect the ball return guides, ensuring that the
ends where the balls enter and leave the guide are not
damaged.
3.
Inspect the lower thrust bearing and races for
wear, pitting, scoring or cracking. If any of these con-
ditions are found renew the thrust bearing and races
and check the worm shaft.
