4. Fill the reservoir with the speci-
fied
automatic transmission fluid.
Run the engine, and bleed the svs-
tem by cycling the steering g~ar
with the windshield wipers turned
on. Check for leaks, and recheck the

REMOVAL
1. Raise the front of the car. Re-
move the reservoir to pump line
(outlet line) clamp at the reservoir,
but do not disconnect the line at
this time.
2. Disconnect the reservoir inlet
line at the reservoir.
3. Remove the reservoir bracket
to the cylinder block upper cap
screw. Support the reservoir and
remove the lower cap screw and
spacer.
4. \Vith a drain pan under the
reservoir, disconnect the outlet line
hose from the reservoir tube and
allow the fluid to drain.
5. Remove the reservoir cover re-
taining nut and the cover. Position
the cover and the reservoir out of
the way and allow them to rest in
the engine compartment.
6. Lower the front of the car. Re-
move the fan shroud.
7. Remove the reservoir and the
cover by manipulating them through
the opening between the radiator and
the compressor drive belt.

INSTALLATION
1.
Position the reservoir in the
engine compartment. Loosely attach
the reservoir and bracket to the cyl-
inder block with the upper cap screw.
2. Install the fan shroud, then
raise the front of the car.
~1.
Connect the reservoir to pump
line (outlet line) at the reservoir.
4. Install the reservoir bracket to
cylinder block lower cap screw and
spacer. Tighten both the upper and
the lower cap screws.
5. Connect the reservoir inlet line
at the reservoir. Install the clamps
on both lines. Lower the car, and
install the reservoir cover and retain-
ing nut.
6. Fill the reservoir with the spec:i-
fied automatic transmission fluid.
Run the engine, and bleed the sys-
tem by cycling the steering gear with
the windshield wipers turned on.
Check for leaks, and recheck the
fluid level.

STEERING GEAR DISASSEMBLY
Use only parts specified for the
Lincoln steering gear.
1.
Drain the hydraulic fluid from
the ports, and thoroughly clean the
exterior of the unit with a suitable
solvent.
2. Mount the unit for disassembly
on a stand adapter or in a vise.
3. After removing the cylinder
plug snap ring, use compressed air
to remove the cylinder plug from the
piston rack bore.
4. After removing the snap ring,
remove the cylinder cap from the
piston bore (Fig. 13) . Remove the
cylinder cap 0-ring.
5. Check the amount of backlash
between the sector gear and the

drive key.
7. Disconnect the pump inlet line
at the pump, and plug the end of
the line to prevent the loss of fluid.
DisconneCt the pump pressure line
at the pump.
8. Remove the pump to engine
front cover cap screws, and remove
the pump. Remove the seal from the
front cover.
INSTALLATION
1. Install a new seal on the engine
front cover.
2. Align the slot in the pump rotor
shaft with the drive key in the crank-
shaft, and slide the pump onto the
shaft. Install the pump to engine
front cover cap screws. Torque the
cap screws to specification.
3. Connect the pump inlet line and
the pressure line.
4. Install the damper drive key,
damper, washer and bolt. Torque
the bolt to specification.
5. Install the fan,
pulley,
and
spacer. Install the generator drive
belts. Adjust the belt tension, and
tighten the adjusting and support
bracket bolts.
6. If the car is equipped with air
conditioning, install the compressor
drive belt. Adjust the belt tension,
and tighten the adjusting and support
bracket bolts.
7. Run the engine at idle speed,
and check the fluid level in the reser-
voir. If required, add the specified
automatic transmission fluid. Turn
on the windshield wipers. Rotate the
steering wheel from stop to stop
several times to bleed the air from
the system. Recheck the fluid level.
piston rack as follows:
a. Position a dial indicator against
the piston. Locate the dial in-
dicator shaft on the machined
surface at the outside diameter
of the piston, and set it at zero
(Fig. 14).
b. While holding the sector shaft
firmly, push the piston by hand
as far as it will go first in one
directon and then the other, to
obtain total deflection of the
needle (Fig. 14). Note the in-
dicator reading.
c. The backlash should not exceed
.004 inch. If the backlash is
excessive, install a new piston
or sector shaft as required when
assembling the gear.
