Hydraulic Power Steering Rack Rebuild. Koyo OEM 

As an automotive ASE Master Tech since 1978, now retired, you are a younger tech who has mastered this procedure on the rack and pinion type used. I am proud to see proper procedures, tools and the shop made stuff that works. We all have simple to perhaps more complex tools in our tool box somewhere over time. Working in straight axles replacing king pins, bushings, then reeming to fit and that special large bearing, to recirculating ball gear boxes then bunches of steering racks on GM’s. First, the black seals, then green and finally the harder Teflon versions. For a period on time, stainless steel thin sleeves where pressed into the control head. At some point, I think they changed the alloy and still use the Teflon seals. Great job on the workmanship and your attention to the viewers, from a retired ASE Master Tech. Job well done!

Thanks for not using fast forward and not skipping any steps on the video. Very good guide.

Hands down the best video on RU-vid on how to rebuild a steering rack. Thanks.

BY FAR the best demonstration on how to rebuild a modern steering rack and pinion. Great job!

finally someone who pays attention to details

Great video I repair rack and pinions for a living in the US and buddy tools have came along way ..like seal pullers and Teflon ring reducers so you don't have to stretch with fingers ..I use a pick and if the get alil stretched out the reducers will tighten them right back up.. keep up the good work I have thousands of rack and pinion units under my belt

One of the best, cleanest and well organised steering rack rebuild I've seen in youtube. Kudos 👍👍👍

This has got to be one of the best videos on rebuilding PS rack!

I don't even work on these models of rack but must say the quality of this video is excellent. Lots of detail, and no stupid music. Thanks.

Nice rebuild, one of the cleanest I've ever seen. Anyways it's my job also, but I love watching others to learn more because no one knows it all. Thanks for this great video.

I've watched about seven or eight videos on rebuilding rack & pinions this week, and by far - this one is the best! ❤Thank you! 💕

I learned an ecellent idea from you. Today, I just finished rebuilding/ overhauling the hydraulic power steering rack of my mitsubishi car by following your video. So helpful. thank you.

very briefly mentioned how to repair a hydraulic power steering, thanking you

I have rebuilt a few Holden Commodore power steering racks right from a 1988 to a 2002 model which are basically all Kirby-Bishop power steering racks so I used the same information to rebuild them,the differences between how Holden & Toyota say to do it is like this :- - The Teflon seals should be soaked in boiling hot water to expand the seals so they can be easily fitted -The power steering rack teeth must be centralised & the pinion gear needs to be timed so that the steering wheel is in the straight ahead position - The rack pad adjusting screw is to be set at 12 Newton Metres of torque then backed off by 30° or 1/2 a flat of the hex shape in the middle of the rack pad adjusting screw while the rack pad & pinion gear is timed & centralised. - The kit comes with new O rings so I replace the O ring for the torsion rod which is held in place to the pinion input shaft by a 4 millimetre diameter of Dowel pin,I replace all the O rings on the pinion (spool) valve assembly I used an old beer bottle to stretch the Teflon seals out a bit over the neck of the bottle & I used the plastic off a soft drink bottle when fitting the new Teflon seals to prevent them from getting damaged, that's happened on a couple of power steering racks that I rebuilt. I test the power steering racks before fitting the tie rods because I need to make sure that it won't leak,Holden didn't tell me to fit them beforehand. It would be a similar procedure for the power steering racks in the Australian built Fords who sourced their power steering racks from the same supplier. It's a bit like when Dana bought Borg Warner out in Australia,the procedure for rear differential overhaul pretty much remained the same !

This fixed my whole steering wheel issue. My cruise control and other buttons on my wheel weren’t working. Now they are. THANK YOU!

Almost asked how to get the Special Tool and you answered faster than I could type! Thank you!

great video , well explained and no stupid music.Thanks for sharing

Excellent job. I appreciate you showing all the detail, your special tools and the OEM repair part numbers. This looks to be a fairly involved job.

Zadovoljstvo je gledati sa kakvim majstorstvom i pedantnošću obavljate posao.Svaka čast,mladiću 👍🏻

hey man i really like the way you dissasemble and assemble the rack and pinion. you really show the components in every part you assemble at the same time tricks or gimmicks in where it can be done on your own man. really hoping for a lot of tutorials about cars system. more power to your channel man.

You did this with the basic tools and tools you made . 👍

That is a very specialized skill set he has! Well done!

Only thing missing from this video is shot's of Vodka at rebuilds completion. Cheers Comrade, great video!!

You are real Mechanic! Thank you

Extremely thorough video, thank you man!

Amazing, thank you! Wish I had found this earlier as I pulled apart my 2005 Hyundai Elantra and had lots of trouble. The power steering rack design is almost identical!

Longest video I've ever watched on YT haha. Great video though. Thanks for taking the time to make it

This is by far the best and most informative video of removing and installing parts i've ever seen. Hope all your future vids are like this. Thank a lot and God bless. Always stay safe..

Thank you for the video , ill be trying to fix a end seal without removing the rack from the car , wish me luck lol

Obviously a professional. I'd hire this guy in a heartbeat.

Thanks for this great tutorial. It's gave me all the knowledge I need in steering rack rebuild.

Very good and detail video with proper explanation and without editing

This is a complete hydraulic course. Luv it.

Nice showing how to open and assembled

Excellent video. You are very skilled. I have 215k miles on my rack (2006 Matrix) and no leaks. I change the fluid (Dex/Merc ATF) every 40-50k miles.

انا مكنيكي سيارات الان اصبحت معلم هدروليك بعد هذا الفيديو💟

So patience, great video so helpful!!!

Great video. I don't understand how anybody could give this a thumbs down.

Thank you very much for the great tutorial

Simple, you are amazing man.

And many thanks for sparing us from noise/musak; great video,man ( the only thing,you could also have measured for us the 8 mm bar you used to turrn and coil in, the retaining wire and the rack stopper, in its transversal dimension; it actually needs not be 8 mm; 4 or 6 mm is ok too) Big thanks.

Extremely well presented video, pleasure to watch someone that knows what they are doing and not an idiot cowboy. Thanks.

Now I know how, Thanks William

Very good 👌 you are talented 👍

Thanku,the best video then another videos in RU-vid. This is best job

You’re very talented

Přínosné video, děkuji za něj! Ale měl bych pár výhrad například k nasazování O-kroužků. V dnešní době 3D tiskáren bych si vyrobil kužel a jednoduše kroužky navlékl bez nutnosti roztahování, které, si myslím, není zrovna vhodné. Dále je nutné kroužky a hřídelová těsnění mazat, aby se nasazováním nepoškodila a šla snadněji instalovat. Ale jinak ještě jednoho děkuji za ukázku přestavby!😊

Great job.

Thank you brother

Tank you very much dear

very good video thank you, just need a good supplier for the seal kit

Very nice video. Thank you very much.
