Distribution valve assembled in the correct order ?

[Desert Mike DIY]

When I flushed out the distribution valve in my 2004 Workhorse, the power steering stopped working. I topped up the hydraulic tank and bled the steering ram. Before that it would only turn left with a significant load in the front bucket. Now it doesn't turn right or left. The hex cap of the distribution valve, had a load on it pushing out on the cap at first. Now it does not. I must have put the parts back in the wrong order ?

Does anyone have a diagram of the internal parts of the distribution valve ?

Are you talking about the steering column valve? Is it a Parker valve? If so, those have a specific order of assembly with the notches in a specific position. Change one plate and you're out of luck. I hope you took a picture of the original. Otherwise, you'll need the manufacture's overhaul manual to reassemble it correctly.

The diverter valve is located down by the starter.

What are the lines connected too that attach to this valve. That information might help determine what that valve is and how it should work.

Here is the order of the diverter valve parts that worked somewhat. Steering still won't turn right. But at least it's back to un-normal.
