the side cover bore. The nylon split ring comes out
separately but is part of the seal (29). Figure 29 Note:
The two piece seal (seal and nylon split ring) may not
be used in all steering gears. A one piece seal is
sometimes used instead.
CAUTION: Do not remove the outer race of the roller
bearing from the side cover.

(22), remove the output shaft seal (29) and its split nylon
backup ring (28) which comes out separately but is
part of the seal (29). Figure 31 Note: The two piece seal
(seal and nylon split ring) may not be used in all steering
gears. A one piece seal is sometimes used instead.

VALVE BODY & SPINDLE DISASSEMBLY
19. If the steering gear is not equipped with the steering
limiting feature, this STEP MAY BE DISREGARDED.
Follow the appropriate procedure:
C-300N POWER STEERING GEARS
In the C-300N power steering gear, the steering limiting
stem is threaded into a blind hole in the valve body and
is accessible only after the valve body(7) has been
removed from the housing (22). Check the condition and
length of the limiting stem (13) in the valve body (7). The
length of the stem measured from the surface of the
valve body to the tip of the stem should be specified in
the vehicle service manual. If the limiting stem is of the
correct length and in good condition, DO NOT REMOVE
it. The limiting stem can be removed if necessary by
heating the steering limiting stem using a hot air gun to
soften the Loctite compound. Care must be taken to
minimize the amount of heat applied to the stem. DO
NOT OVERHEAT! The stem may be removed by turning
counterclockwise. After removal, clean Loctite residue
from the hole.
Use a M6X1 tap to clean the tapped hole. If M6X1 tap is
not available, hole should be cleaned with solvent and
dried well.
C-500N POWER STEERING GEAR
In the C-500N power steering gear, the steering limiting
stem in the valve body (7) is identical to the one in the
housing (19, 20, 21) and can be removed or adjusted
