The middle and bottom picture show the two holes that line up with the access hole. It looks like a plug and not a screw. I can't pull the actuating sleeve out of the housing. The original problem was turning to the left without any shaft input, I moved the housing slightly to cure that, then had no power assist turning left, turning right worked normally so here I am trying to get this thing apart. With weight off the wheels and engine off everything turns freely, power assist is the same with or without weight on the wheels as near as I can tell. Any ideas about why there would be no set screw and how to get the sleeve out? [Reply]   [No Email]

You need to look at the newer power steering manual for the 720/730 models. The round thing you see is a dowel pin. Now, is it flush with the body of the actuator sleeve? If it has slipped outward, it will catch and prevent removal of the sleeve. See if it is proud, and if so, tap it back in, remove the sleeve, and then we can discuss it from there.Is that [Reply]  [No Email]

I'll get the newer manual. I got it all apart and the dowels are flush with the outer edges but the one closest to the worm gear is worn flat on one edge. I'll post a few more pictures and see what you think. [Reply]  [No Email]

I think I double clicked the mouse pad. Sorry [Reply]  [No Email]
