Steering Wheel Removal
1.
Pry the plastic cover from the steering wheel using
your finger tips. See Figure 4-3. If you cannot grab
the cover, you can start it by carefully using a
medium sized flat blade screw driver and gently
prying upwards. DO NOT force it or the cover may
crack.
2.
Loosen the steering wheel nut.
3.
Remove the steering wheel.
NOTE
If the steering wheel is difficult to remove, use a
commercial puller. With this tool, it should remove easily.
4.
Install the steering wheel by placing it over the shaft,
aligning the wheel and shaft splines and pushing
downward evenly until the nut can be installed.
5. Tighten the nut.

Steering Column (Console) Removal
NOTE
This is a two man operation, due to weight of steering
column (approximately 30 pounds/14 kgs.). If an
overhead crane is available, the crane could be strapped
to the steering wheel for support.
1.
Remove the lower dash cover.
2.
Pry (up) the bellows (rubber boot) free from the
bellows retainer plate. This exposes the mounting
plate for the steering column and the TFD (Torque
Feedback Device).
Four screws secure the assembly to the orbital
steering mount bracket for stability. Once loosened,
the wiring to the Torque Feedback Device must be
unhooked.
3.
Remove the four bolts and hardware, securing the
TFD to the steering column.
4.
Remove the four bolts and hardware, securing the
steering column console to the bellows retainer plate.
See Figure 4-4.
5. With help, lift the steering column upwards to
disengage the shaft from the orbital unit, then
remove the steer column from the truck.
6. When installing the new steer column, you must turn
the steering shaft until it aligns with the orbital unit
and drops into place.
7.
Continue by reversing the preceding steps making
sure to tighten and torque all mounting screws. See
General Torque, Hydraulic Fitting Torque, and Bendi
AC Special Torque Tables in on page 1-12.
