9. Install the retaining ring in the housing groove.
10. Position the steering valve housing in a vise with
the bottom end facing Up. To avoid damaging the
steering valve housing, use a fitting installed in
one of the ports to grip the steering motor. Thread
a fitting, 1, into one of the ports (as shown) and
use it to mount the valve in the vise.
NOTE : Always thread a fitting into one of the ports
and use that fitting to mount the control valve in a vise.
Never clamp the control valve in a vise to secure it as
excessive vise pressure may distort the case, which will
jam components against one another and/or cause
damage to the control valve housing. If the housing is
damaged, it must be replaced.
11. Position the spool and sleeve assembly slightly
below the bottom face of the motor housing.
12. Install a new O-ring, 1, in the housing and position
the spacer plate, 2, on the O-ring so that the holes
line up with those in the housing.
13. Position the spool and sleeve, 1, so that the pin, 2,
is parallel with the port face of the steering valve
housing, 3.
14. Insert the drive shaft, 1, into the valve so that its
slotted end engages the pin in the spool and sleeve.
Mark a line, 2, on the face of the drive shaft that is
parallel to the pin and to the port face of the
steering valve housing, 3.
