secured to the Drive. A taper adaptor is provided to enable the Drive to be fitted to
either

in (19 mm) or 1 in (25 mm) steering shaft tapers. As the way in which
components are fitted depends on the diameter of the steering shaft, you need to
ascertain the diameter of the steering shaft before you fit the Drive.
Step 1 – Remove the steering wheel
CAUTION: Turn the wheel fully clockwise
Before you remove the steering wheel, it is very important to turn it fully
clockwise, otherwise damage to the Drive could occur in the later stages of
installation.
1. Turn the wheel fully clockwise to starboard lock.
2. Remove the steering wheel hub cover.
3. Holding the steering wheel at full starboard lock, use the supplied box spanner or
a suitable socket to remove and retain the wheel securing nut and washer.
4. Carefully remove the steering wheel (a bearing puller will assist with this).
5. Remove and retain the woodruff key.
