Title: Anybody know torque values for power steering pump on Series 60?
Post by: belfert on September 14, 2008, 07:56:10 AM
I need to replace the power steering pump gasket on a Series 60.  The power steering pump attaches to the air compresser gear access cover.

Anyone know the torque values for the bolts holding the steering pump on?  I have a Series 60 service manual, but it only mentions the torque values for the air compressor gear access cover.  I dn't see anything about the steering pump torque values.

The book says, from 22-28 bl-ft torque.

What section of the manual did you find this in?  The only stuff I can find seems to apply to the air compressor gear access cover/power steering cover and not the pump itself.  I tried to attach the section of the manual I found, but I can't get it to shrink down from over 2 MB.  (2MB is for less than 1/2 page of a manual!)

Using 22-28 ft lbs certainly can't be too tight so I'll go with that.

On the last page of the install for the air compresser it says after the aircompresser is installed to then put the cover or power steering pump back on. with these torque settings. The air compresser should be at 43-54 lbs.  They also say the shorter bolt in the air should be in the 2 oclock position.

Actually it is invaluable since if done improperly will ruin pump.(Had to couldn't resist)

Okay, I finally found the information in my service manual.  The information wasn't in the section of the book about the gearcase.  It was in a section titled Special Equipment.  I don't know why it is called Special Equipment since it talks about the air compressor only.

Thanks for your help.

To DD the air compresser is special eqpt.  They work from a bare engine so they can have more extra's to charge for.

I think that is because the DD are used in many applications that do not require an air compressor, such as stationay and marine applications.  Jack

I understand an air compressor isn't standard equipment.  I'm just surprised the section wasn't just labeled air compressor aas they didn't talk about anything but an air compressor.
