UPDATE 10/2020: Attached pdf file OEM power steering write-up: Toyota Trails (March/April 1998) pages 40-44
UPDATE 05/2017: This remains a work in progress. As I complete steps, I'll add photos to help clarify details that may be unclear or omitted from the FSM.
40-series Power Steering Gearbox Housing
Used Toyota Power Steering Gearbox Toolkit ($15 + shipping Thanks, Ebay)
Used Mini Truck Power Steering Gearbox ($75 shipped Thanks fellow ih8mudder)
I've painted the housing with epoxy black chassis paint. I left some surfaces as bare metal where parts mated with another surface. Today, I disassembled the mini truck box & kept all of the parts I need for the rebuild. My first question is:
Can I clean the guts with a solvent of some sort? I'll post up some picts once I'm ready to assemble everything.
