* Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 345 mm (13.58 in.)

HINT
Using SST, hold the steering rack and install the steering rack end sub-assembly.

(c) Using SST, install the steering rack end sub-assembly (LH side).

SST : 09922-10010

Torque : 76 Nm (775 kgf-cm, 56 ft-lbf)





NOTICE:
* Use SST 09922-10010 following the direction shown in the illustration.
* Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 345 mm (13.58 in.)

HINT
Using SST, hold the steering rack and install the steering rack end sub-assembly.

(d) Using a brass bar and a hammer, stake the 2 claw washers.





NOTICE:
Avoid any impact to the steering rack.

2. INSTALL STEERING RACK BOOT NO.1

(a) Apply silicon grease to the inside of the small opening of the steering rack boot No.1 (LH side).





(b) Temporarily install a new steering rack boot No.1 clamp to the large opening of the steering rack boot No.1 (LH side) at the position shown by arrow (A).





NOTICE:
* Use a new steering rack boot No.1 clamp.
* Do not expand the steering rack boot No.1 clamp more than necessary for installation.
* Do not deform the steering rack boot No.1 clamp.
* Tightening force of the steering rack boot No.1 clamp becomes uneven if it is installed after being expanded as shown in the illustration. As a result, rust is caused by water entering from the clearance between the boot and rack housing, causing a malfunction.
* Use only the supply parts which are applicable to the vehicle to secure the boot.

HINT
After disengaging the claw of a new steering rack boot No.1 clamp, temporarily install it from the end without expanding the clamp diameter more than necessary.

(c) Install the rack boot No.1 (LH side) to the groove on the rack housing.

NOTICE:
* Be careful not to damage or twist the boot.
* Do not damage the steering rack boot No.1 (LH side).
* Ensure that the steering rack boot No.1 clamp is installed before installing the steering rack boot No.1 (LH side) to the rack housing.

(d) Install the RH side by using the same procedure as for the LH side.

3. INSTALL STEERING RACK BOOT NO.1 CLAMP

(a) Using pliers and a screwdriver, install the steering rack boot No.1 clamp (LH side).





NOTICE:
* Be careful not to damage the steering rack boot.
* Do not twist the steering rack boot.

HINT
Make sure that the protrusion of the steering rack boot clamp is positioned within the shown in the illustration.

(b) Install the RH side by using the same procedure as for the LH side.

4. INSTALL STEERING RACK BOOT CLIP

(a) Using pliers, install the 2 boot clips.
