Introduction
This manual provides service
information for Char-Lynn®
Series 5 Steering Control Units.
Step by step instructions for
complete disassembly, inspec-
tion and reassembly of the con-
trol unit are given.
The following recommendations
should be followed to insure
successful repairs.
• Most repairs require the
removal of the control unit
from the vehicle.
• Cleanliness is extremely
important.
• Clean the port areas thor-
oughly before disconnecting
the hydraulic lines.
• Plug the control unit ports and
cover open hydraulic lines
immediately after they have
been disconnected.
• Drain the oil and clean the
exterior of the control unit
before making repairs.
• Wash all metal parts in clean
solvent.
• Use filtered, moisturefree
compressed air to dry the
parts. Do not wipe them dry
with paper towels or cloth –
lint in a hydraulic system will
cause damage.
• Always use new seals when
reassembling hydraulic control
units.
• Lubricate new rubber seals
with a petroleum jelly before
installation.
•Torque all bolts over gasketed
joints, then repeat the
torquing sequence to make
up for gasket compression.
After all repairs are complete it
is essential to verify the accura-
cy of control unit repairs on an
authorized test stand.

Cleanliness is extremely impor-
tant when repairing hydraulic
Steering Control Units (SCU).
Work in a clean area. Before
disconnecting the hydraulic
lines, clean the port area of the
SCU. Before disassembly, drain
the oil, then plug the ports and
thoroughly clean the exterior of
the SCU. During repairs, always
protect machined surfaces.
1. Remove the seven cap
screws and disassemble the
SCU as shown in
figure 1.
2. Remove the plug and
manual steering check
as shown in figure 1.
Note:The manual steering
check may be a check ball or
a check/relief valve.
3. Slide the spool and sleeve
from the housing, see
figure 2.
4. Remove the thrust bearing
and bearing races.
5. Remove the quad seal.
Disassembly
6. Using a small blade screw-
driver, carefully pry the
dust seal from the housing.
Important: Do not damage
the dust seal seat.
7. Remove the pin that holds
the spool and sleeve togeth-
er, see figure 3.
8. Carefully slide the spool out
of the sleeve.The springs
and retaining ring will stay
with the spool as it’s
removed.
9. Remove the retaining ring
and springs.
Caution:The centering
springs are under tension;
remove the retaining ring
carefully.

Reassembly
Check all mating surfaces.
Replace any parts with scratch-
es or burrs that could cause
leakage. Wash all metal parts in
clean solvent. Blow them dry
with pressurized air. Do not
wipe parts dry with paper tow-
els or cloth as lint in a hydraulic
system will cause damage.
Note: Always use new
seals when reassembling
hydraulic steering control units.
Refer to page 5 for seal kit
part numbers.
Important: During reassembly
lubricate the new seals with
a petroleum jelly such as
Vaseline®. Also lubricate
machined surfaces and bearings
with clean hydraulic fluid.
10. Install the quad seal
(see page 12 for 2-piece
seal installations):
• Put one of the bearing
races and sleeve into
the housing.
•Together, the housing and
bearing race create a groove
into which the
quad seal will be installed.
• Hold the bearing race tightly
against the input end of the
housing by pushing on the
gerotor end of the sleeve.
• Fit the quad seal into its seat
through the input end of the
housing. Be sure
the seal is not twisted.
• Remove the sleeve and
bearing race.
11. Lubricate and install the dust
seal (see Figure 4 for correct
seal orientation).
12. Install the centering springs
in the spool. It is best to
install the two flat pieces
first. Next, install the curved
pieces, three
at a time.
13. Fit the retaining ring over
the centering springs.
14. Apply a light coating of
clean hydraulic fluid to
the spool and slide it into
the sleeve. Be sure the cen-
tering springs fit into the
notches in the sleeve.
15. Install the drive, be sure the
slot in the drive engages
the pin.
16. Install the pin
(see Figure 3).
17. Apply a light coating of
petroleum jelly to the
inner edge of the dust
and quad seals.
18. Put the thrust bearing and
races into the housing.
The thrust bearing goes
between the two races
(see Figure 2).
19. Apply a light coating of
clean hydraulic fluid to
the spool and sleeve assem-
bly and slide it
into the housing.
Important: Do not damage
the dust or quad seals..
20. Clamp the housing in a vise
as shown in Figure 5. Use
just enough clamping force
to hold the housing secure-
ly.
21. Lubricate and install a new
o-ring seal in the groove in
the housing.
22. Install the wear plate and
align the holes in the wear
plate with threaded holes in
the housing.
Note:The holes in
the wear plate are
symmetrical.
23. Lubricate and install a new
o-ring seal in the groove in
the wear plate.
24. Install the gerotor and align
the screw holes.
25. Lubricate and install a new
o-ring seal in the groove in
the gerotor ring.
26. Lubricate and install a new
o-ring and seal ring in the
groove in the gerotor star.
27. Install end cap and seven
cap screws.Tighten cap
screws, in a crisscross pat-
tern, to 16 -18 Nm
[140 -160 lb-in].
28. Remove the SCU from
the vise.
29. Install the relief valve/check
or check ball and plug. Use
a new o-ring and tighten the
plug to 17 Nm [150 lb-in].
