The assembly procedure requires new o-ring seals that need power steering fluid lubrication before installation into the pump housing assembly with the addition of the flow control spring. The control valve assembly fits onto the flow control spring before the installation of o-ring seals , and to the pump housing assembly. Assemble the magnet to the pump housing assembly before connecting the reservoir assembly to this housing followed by sealing the o-ring.

The reservoir assembly of the pump housing assembly requires detachment before removing o-ring seals and the magnet while cleaning both components. An inspection of the welch plug in the Power Steering Pump housing requires no removal of the part while examining it for deformation or dislodgement because a new Power Steering Pump housing must be installed if these issues exist. New o-ring seals should be installed to the power steering system while power steering fluid serves as lubricant. Proceed with installation of the pump housing assembly control valve assemblies while inserting the flow control spring and the o-ring seals and the final step includes the integration of the magnet. Assemble the reservoir with the pump housing while placing the o-ring seal between them. Replace the connector with the fitting assembly before installing the variable assist steering actuator and its retaining ring. The pump mounting studs need to be installed to the pump housing while torque should be set to 58 nm (43 ft. Lbs.). Additional attention should be given to installing the connector and fitting assembly at 75 nm (55 ft. Lbs.).
