• Q: How to disassemble the power Rack And Pinion on 2005 Toyota Tundra?

  A: The power rack and pinion disassembly process starts with turning pressure tubes removal through Special Service Tool: 09023-38401 followed by extracting four O-rings from these tubes. Secure the PS rack and pinion assembly inside a vise through the use of Special Service Tool: 09612-00012 with 2 bolts (90105-10346) and nuts (90170-10198). Before loosening start by marking all parts of the tie rod end and rack end with lock nut. Disassemble the tie rod end and lock nut on each side. Loosen the 2 clamps which can be done with a screwdriver to extract the 2 clips and boots from their positions while taking care to maintain boot integrity. Using a screwdriver with a hammer gently unstake the washer from each RH and LH rack end before using a spanner to remove them with Special Service Tool: 09922-10010 while recording which end belongs to which side. Disassemble the washer from the rack end before moving on to the other side. Begin the process by using Special Service Tool: 09922-10010 to detach the rack guide spring cap lock nut. Then proceed with a hexagon wrench to loosen the rack guide spring cap before the rack guide spring and rack guide. The technician must remove the rack housing cap with Special Service Tool: 09816-30010 before stopping control valve shaft rotation with Special Service Tool: 09616-00011 to extract the self-locking nut. Begin by marking the control valve housing together with the rack housing and then remove the 2 mounting bolts for the control valve housing assembly. The final steps before removing the gasket from the rack housing will be removing both housing components with their control valve assembly. The valve shaft must have vinyl tape around its serrated section to secure the oil seal lip while using the valve assembly press against the control valve housing. A shop rag should be placed between blocks to catch the assembly. After removing the oil seal from the control valve assembly, the Special Service Tool: 09631-16010 allows for turning the cylinder end stopper clockwise until the wire end becomes visible before counterclockwise wire removal. To end the process press the rack and pinion with the bushing by using Special Service Tool: 09950-70010 (09951-07200) but maintain rack safety at all times while removing the bushing with its O-ring and using Special Service Tool: 09950-60010 (09951-00360) and 09950-70010 (09951-07360) to press out the oil seal.
