Rotary Car Club - View Single Post - Bearing Removal from Power Steering Rack Housing?

Tanj! · 09-25-2011, 06:32 PM

I'm in the process of depowering a S4 power steering rack. Does anyone know how the two bearings in the control valve assembly shaft are removed? The FSM is vauge to say the least. I can't tell if the bearing down by pinion plug is pulled out past the pinion plug threads or bushed back into the body. If pushed back into the body does that also then unseat the roller bearing and oil seal midway in the housing? Again in all it's clearity the FSM tells you how to reinstall the roller bearing and oil seal but doesn't actually tell you how to remove it. Any help would be greatly appreciated?
