Has anyone here actually successfully opened up one of these? More specifically a TRW type.
I know the service manual doesn't tell you anything, because your not supposed to f with it but thats not how we are around here
ordered the plews-edelmann seal kit and its supposed to come with directions. The plastic cap on the bottom of the spool valve vertical portion has me at a stop for now. It is going to come out whether its in once piece or not remains to be seen. The rest looks like the rack bar will be removable once the pinion gear/spool valve has been removed.
all signs are pointing towards the rack having blown out the p-side seal on the Shadow. Went from full power assist to nothing in about 90 seconds and big mess underneath. Before I throw away another $120 on a junk reman I am going to give repairing this one an attempt.
