7 Insert the steering shaft into position in the steering column and refit the spring washer and flat washer to the upper end of the steering shaft, securing them in position with the circlip. Ensure that the circlip is correctly located in its groove and check that the shaft rotates freely in the column. Remove the ignition key and check that the steering lock functions correctly. 8 Before installing the column assembly, check the steering shaft-to-steering gear universal joint for signs of wear or damage and smoothness of operation. If there is any sign of roughness in the joint bearing, it must be renewed before refitting the steering column. 21 Steering lock/ignition switch - removal and refitting 3 Warning: Before attempting removal of the ignition switch, read carefully the precautions listed in Chapter 12, appertaining to vehicles equipped with airbags (SRS). 1 Steering rack 2 Track rod balljoint 3 Steering rack gaiter 4 Gaiter outer retaining clip 5 Gaiter inner retaining clip 6 Balljoint retaining nut 7 Split pin 22.1 Steering gear components 8 Mounting clamp 9 Mounting bush 10 Mounting bush 11 Steering rack mounting bolt 12 Spacer Note: The steering lock/ignition switch is secured by two shear-head bolts. Although new bolts are supplied with replacement steering lock assemblies, always ensure that the bolts themselves are available before beginning work. Removal 1 Remove the steering column. 2 Securely clamp the column assembly in a vice equipped with soft jaws, taking great care not to overtighten the vice and distort the steering column. 3 Centre-punch the two steering lock shear bolts then drill off the heads of the bolts. Note that new shear bolts must be obtained for refitting. 4 Withdraw the steering lock/ignition switch, then unscrew the remains of the shear bolts by using a self-locking wrench or similar on the exposed ends. Refitting 5 On refitting, carefully align the assembly on the steering column, lightly tighten the bolts and check that the steering lock works smoothly. 6 Tighten the shear bolts evenly until their heads shear off. 7 Refit the steering column. 13 Washer 14 Washers 15 Steering rack mounting clamp bolt 16 Power steering fluid pipes (where fitted) 1689 Rover 214 & 414 Updated Version 09/97 Suspension and steering 10•17 22 Steering gear rubber gaiters - renewal 3 1 Remove the track rod balljoint and unscrew the locknut from the track rod end (see illustration). 2 Using a pair of pliers, release the outer steering gear gaiter retaining clip and slide it off the track rod end. Remove the inner gaiter retaining clip by cutting it, then slide the gaiter off the end of the track rod. 3 Thoroughly clean the track rod and the steering gear housing, using fine abrasive paper to polish off any corrosion, burrs or sharp edges which might damage the new gaiter’s sealing lips on fitting. Repair kits which consist of new gaiters and retaining clips are available from Rover dealers. 4 Fit the new rubber gaiter, ensuring that it is correctly seated in the grooves in the steering gear housing and track rod. 5 Check that the gaiter is not twisted or dented then secure it in position using new retaining clips. 6 Refit the locknut and balljoint onto the track rod end. 23 Steering gear - removal, overhaul and refitting 5 Removal 1 Chock the rear wheels, firmly apply the handbrake, jack up the front of the vehicle and support on axle stands. Remove the appropriate front roadwheel. 2 Working inside the vehicle, peel back the driver’s footwell carpet and remove the studs securing the lower steering column cover to the floor. Remove the two retaining clips from the upper end of the cover and withdraw the cover. 3 Mark the relative positions of the steering gear pinion and joint to use as a guide when refitting, then slacken and remove the two universal joint pinch-bolts (see illustration). Slide the universal joint up the steering 23.3 Steering column universal joint pinch-bolts (arrowed) 10
10•18 Suspension and steering 23.7 Gearchange linkage bellcrank mounting bolts (arrowed) column shaft splines until it is free from the steering gear pinion. 4 Extract the split pins and undo the nuts securing the steering gear track rod balljoints to the swivel hubs. Release the balljoint shanks by using a suitable balljoint separator tool whilst taking care not to damage the balljoint gaiters. 5 From underneath the vehicle, slacken and remove the bolt securing the rear engine/gearbox unit mounting connecting link to the subframe bracket, then remove the three subframe bracket retaining bolts and remove the bracket, releasing it from the exhaust mounting rubber. Undo the two bolts securing the connecting link and bracket assembly to the gearbox housing and remove the assembly from the vehicle. 6 Undo the three front exhaust pipe to manifold retaining nuts and, where necessary, the two bolts securing the front pipe mounting bracket to the vehicle. Release the intermediate exhaust section from its mountings and lower the front of the exhaust system. 7 In the absence of the special gearchange linkage balljoint separator (Rover service tool Number 18G 1592), use a suitable flat-bladed screwdriver to carefully lever the lower gearchange rod balljoint off the gearchange linkage bellcrank assembly. Remove the three bolts securing the assembly to the subframe (see illustration). 8 Using a suitable stout bar, lever down on the rear of the engine/gearbox unit and insert a block of wood between the gearbox and subframe to hold it in position. This is necessary to gain the required clearance to remove the steering gear. 9 On models equipped with power-assisted steering, remove the bolt securing the feed and return pipe mounting bracket to the subframe. Mark the pipe union bolts to ensure they are correctly positioned on reassembly, then unscrew the pipe to steering gear union nuts (see illustration). Be prepared for fluid spillage and position a suitable container beneath the pipes whilst unscrewing the union nuts. This fluid must be disposed of and new fluid of the specified type used when refilling. Plug the pipe ends and steering gear orifices to prevent excessive fluid 23.9 Power steering pipes and steering gear right-hand mounting bolts (arrowed) leakage and entry of dirt into the hydraulic system. 10 On all models, fully extend the left-hand track rod then undo the two left-hand steering gear mounting bolts and remove the mounting bracket. Undo the two right-hand mounting bolts, noting the mounting bushes and spacers, and free the steering gear pinion from its cutout. 11 Initially move the steering gear to the left, to free the right-hand track rod from the subframe, then manoeuvre the assembly out from the right-hand side of the vehicle. Remove the washers from the steering gear pinion. Overhaul 12 Examine the steering gear assembly for signs of wear or damage and check that the rack moves freely throughout the full length of its travel with no signs of roughness or excessive free play between the steering gear pinion and rack. The steering gear is available only as a complete assembly with no individual components, the exception being the track rod balljoints and rubber gaiters. Therefore, if worn, the complete assembly must be renewed. 13 Inspect the steering gear mounting bushes for signs of damage or deterioration and renew as necessary. Refitting 14 Refit the washers to the pinion and, with the left-hand track rod fully extended, manoeuvre the steering gear into position from the right-hand side of the vehicle. Once both the track rods are located in the subframe cutouts, refit the mounting clamp and bolts, ensuring that the mounting bushes and spacers are correctly positioned. Tighten the mounting bolts to the specified torque. 15 Centralise the steering gear rack so that both track rods are protruding by an equal distance. 16 On models equipped with power-assisted steering, wipe clean the feed and return pipe unions then refit them to their respective positions on the steering gear and tighten the union nuts to the specified torque. Refit the bolt securing the pipe retaining bracket to the subframe and tighten securely. 1689 Rover 214 & 414 Updated Version 09/97 17 The remainder of the refitting procedure is direct reversal of removal, noting the following: a) Tighten all nuts and bolts to the specified torque settings. b) Secure the track rod balljoint retaining nuts in position with new split pins. c) When refitting the universal joint to the steering gear pinion splines, ensure that the front wheels are pointing in the straight-ahead direction then, if necessary, align the marks made on dismantling and check that the steering wheel spokes are horizontal. d) On completion, check and, if necessary, adjust front wheel alignment. e) On models equipped with power-assisted steering, bleed the hydraulic system. 24 Power steering pump drivebelt - inspection and adjustment Refer to Chapter 1. 25 Power steering pump - removal and refitting 3 Removal 1 Slacken, but do not remove, the three power steering pump pulley retaining bolts, then remove the power steering pump drivebelt. 2 Position a suitable container beneath the power steering pump to catch any spilt fluid, then slacken the inlet hose retaining clip and disconnect the hose from the top of the steering pump. Undo the bolt securing the outlet pipe retaining bracket to the pump, then unscrew the outlet pipe union nut and disconnect the pipe from the pump, noting the O-ring which is fitted to the union (see illustrations). Plug the hose ends and pump unions to prevent excessive fluid loss and the possible entry of dirt into the system. 3 Remove the reservoir from its mounting 25.2a Slacken retaining clamp and disconnect inlet hose from pump
