Removing the Steering Servo Motor and Shaft Carrier
Before you can remove the steering servo motor, you must open the steering system housing (Opening the Steering System Housing).
-
Support the top of the steering system housing on the edge of a bench or a table and not on the top of the shaft carrier.
The steering servo motor bracket is the main component holding the steering assembly together. If you set the assembly on a table so that the shaft carrier bears the weight of the assembly, the top of the steering system housing may suddenly fall down, shifting the assembly components and potentially causing product damage.
Do not clamp the edge of the housing to a bench or table to support it. Clamping may damage the coating or bend the housing.
-
Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the three screws
, metal washers 
, and rubber washers 
that secure the steering servo motor to the housing.
-
Lift up and remove the steering servo motor from the housing.
The key in the steering servo motor shaft may fall out of its keyseat when you lift the motor or pull the drive gear off the motor shaft. Take care to save this key.
-
Remove the shaft carrier
, the drive gear 
and the steering position sensor gear 
and set them aside.
NOTE: The metal drive gear may have adhered to the motor shaft when you removed the motor. If necessary, you can pull the drive gear off the motor shaft to remove it.
