A thorough cleaning and a little black paint...

Now it's time to put it all back together. Basically it all goes back together in reverse order. I lubed the o-rings with power steering fluid before sliding the parts back in the valve body. The ball stud assembly goes back together using lots of grease.

There was no gasket between the two halves of the body so I used a very thin coat of RTV on both sides

Bolt the two halves back together. It will be much tighter than when you took it apart. I will touch up the bolts with paint later.

Bolt on the lock nut (4-5 turns according to the directions) then attach the dust cap.
