INTRODUCTION
- A steering auxiliary pump is a mechanical assembly made of components produced within precise (micron) and tight
tolerances, therefore always observe a careful handling of these components whenever disassembling and assembling.
- In case of doubt, it is important to consult a Luk specialized technician.

SEQUENCE OF DISASSEMBLAGE - Steering auxiliary pump Luk LF80

HOUSING SIDE
A – In a clean and prepared site, place the pump in the disassembling device, with the shaft turned downwards.
B – Unscrew and remove 4 Torx screws, using a T-40 extension.
C – Loosen the rear cover (24) by striking the pump in the shaft, in absolutely vertical position, on a proper surface (plastic or wood).
D – Remove the rear cover (24) and the wear plate (22).
E – Remove the 2 guide pins (16).
G – Remove the spring ring (20) (of round wire) from the shaft, with the help of a needle nose pliers.
H – Remove the shaft (2) by the retainer side (3).
I – Reinstall the wear plate (22) in the rotation assembly and, turning the pump, remove the complete rotation assembly (17, 18, 19
and 21). Pay attention not to lose any one of the blades (19). There are 10 blades in total. In case of some difficulty (oil glueing),
strike carefully with a corner of the pump on a proper surface (plastic or wood).
J – Pull up (in a small vice or striking with a plastic pin of appropriate dimension) the pressure plate support (10), which may be
sticked because of the two O-rings (11 and 12). Observe the aligning position of the oil feeding orifice with the pressure outlet
orifice.
K – Check the retainer (3) condition and eventually replace it.
Valve:
L – Loosen the threaded cover (9) (in aluminum) by means of a 30mm spanner.
M – Unscrew this threaded cover (9) by hand, observing that the spring (7) do not jump off.
N – Remove the spring (7) and carefully take off the pressure relief valve (6).
O – In case of ancient versions, remove the threaded cover (9) end of travel stop. In case of new versions, this stop is integrated.

NOTE: Eliminate all used O-rings (4, 8, 11, 12 and 23).

SEQUENCE OF ASSEMBLAGE - Steering auxiliary pump Luk Lf80

HOUSING SIDE
A – Lubricate the retainer (3) inside and outside with grease (approximately 1/3 of its outiline) and install it, observing the distance
of 5mm from the aluminum housing (5) edge.
B – Install the undulated spring (13) in the housing recess.
C – Press (with the fingers or with the help of a manual press), the pressure plate (10) support, with the two O-rings (11 and 12)
previously nstalled and lubricated; the pressure (outlet) passage should be indicating to the oil inlet diffuser and be aligned with
the oil feeding orifice.
D – Install the shaft (2) by the retainer (3) outer side.
E – Install the pressure plate (17) with the bronze coating upwards. Observe that the pressure opening, the pressure relief spline
and the outer cam indicate to the oil feeding orifice, in direction to the pressure relief valve (6).
Remark concerning the pressure plates: Pressure relief spline to the left = rotation L (Left).
Pressure relief spline to the right = rotation R (right)
E – Place the two guide pins (16) in position.
F – Install the cam ring (21) with the arrow pointing upwards, leaving it at the left side.
G– Install the rotor (18) and the ten blades (19) with the round corner pointing to the cam ring (21) side.
Place the round spring ring (20) in position in the shaft (2) inner extremity spine, checking the correct postion.
H – Install the wear plate (22), with the bronze coating indicating to the rotor (18) and the outer cam in direction to the pressure
relief valve (6).
I– Install the rear cover, with the O-ring (23) previously installed, observing that the outer recess indicates to the pressure relief
valve (6). The holes (inner) for the guide pins (16) should be in the position above/left and down/right, if the pump rotation is
that the exact aligment for the fastening screws (25) can be obtained.

TIP: Before pressing the pressure plate support (10), slightly install the guide pins (16) and the rear cover (24) in the same, to
check the alignment.
J – Tighten (cross tightening) the four screws Torx (25) using a T-40 socket, to a tightening torque of 27-32 Nm.
K - Check if the shaft (2) turns free.
L – Install the O-ring (4) in the housing (5).
NOTES:
- Whenever a steering auxiliary pump is reinstalled, DO NOT forget to install the protection covers (14 and 15).
In this case, DO NOT forget to install also the plastic cover (1).
Valve:
A – Check if the pressure and compensation orificies system (includes the damping small orifice) is free, using the light of a small
handlight or compressed air.
B – Introduce the pressure relief valve (6), duly lubricated and observing the alignment.
C – Fit the spring (7) and the chock (ancient versions) in the threaded cover (9).
D – Install the threaded cover (9), with a new O-ring (8) (without twisting and paying attention to avoid damages by burrs) and
then tighten with a 30mm socket to 40-50 Nm.
