Details of the installation of the steering mechanism on petrol models

6 - pitman arm 8 - Steering Gear 15 - Hollow bolt compression fittings	16 - bolt steering shaft 17 - bolts steering assembly

PERFORMANCE ORDER

Using a suitable puller press out the transverse rod (9) from the pitman arm (7). On models equipped with engines of series 113 Remove the left lens unit (see chap. Onboard electric equipment) and the steering pump (see. Section Removal and installation of the steering pump). Remove the heat sink (see chap. System of cooling, heating, ventilation and air conditioning). Remove the line (14), power steering fluid cooling (see. Section Removal and installation of power steering fluid cooling line). Remove the hollow bolts (15) and remove the compression fittings from the steering hydraulic assembly line - drain the hydraulic fluid in a prepared container. Remove the bolt (16) and remove the lower steering shaft from the input shaft of the steering mechanism. Remove the mounting bolts (17) and remove the steering assembly. Installation is in the reverse order. Do not forget to check the fluid levels and, if necessary, make appropriate adjustments. Finally, clean the processor memory on-board self-diagnostic system (see chap. Systems of an electric motor), and adjust the angles of the front wheels (see. Part of the suspension geometry).
