To remove and refit
(Fig.
3)
1. Remove the horn ring assembly (8) from the
steering wheel centre (9) see under "Horn
Ring Assembly-To remove and refit".
2. Remove the conical spring (7) from inside the
steering wheel centre by unscrewing the
expander bolt extension (12).
3. Remove the steering wheel nut (6) from the
steering wheel centre (9) using the special
tool R.G. 197.
4. Identify the position of the steering
wheel centre (9) on the splined extension
piece (5) if the existing steering wheel Is
to be refitted and remove from the splined
extension piece (5)
5. Refitting is the reverse of the removal se
quence but particular attention must be given
to the following.
I. The front wheels are set in the straight
ahead position and the steering wheel
is fitted so the two spokes are in the
horizontal position.
II. The conical spring is fitted, small end
downward on top of the steering wheel
nut before the expander bolt extension
is fitted and the contact surfaces are
smeared with Shell Grease S.B. 2498.
TELESCOPIC STEERING UNIT
(Fig. 3)
The inner column (2) of the telescopic steering
unit is similar to that of the rigid units but the
hollow upper end is swaged out
·
and its internal
surface splined to accommodate the splined
extension piece
(5).
The upper end of the splined extension piece (5)
has external splines, taper and thread, similar
to the rigid units and the steering wheel (9) is
fitted in the normal manner. Midway along its
length is a single axial groove which locates the
protruding end of a dowel pressed Into the swaged
portion of the inner column (2). The dowel re
tains the splined extension piece within the inner

(Steering)
column (2) and limits its upward and downward
travel to predetermined amounts. The lower end
is slotted and has an internal taper to accommodate
the cross dowel and male taper of the expander
bolt (1) fitted in the hollow centre of the splined
extension piece (5).
An expander bolt extension (12) screws onto the
protruding thread of the expander bolt (1) and the
steering wheel adjusting nut (11) is located by two
flats and attached by a bolt. The bolt extension
(12) has a small flange on its lower end which will
bear against the underside face of the horn ring
(8) and releases the expander bolt (1) as the steer
Ing wheel adjusting nut (11) Is slackened off.
A split bush (10), situated beneath the expander
bolt extension (12) and fitted on the protruding
end of the expander bolt (1) prevents the bolt
dropping out of the splined extension piece (5)
when the bolt extension (12) Is removed. The
inner column (2) is also plugged with a rubber
bung to prevent the expander bolt (1) dropping
into the hollow centre of the inner column (2)
should ever the nylon bush (10) be inadvertantly
removed.
To remove and refit
1. Remove the horn ring assembly from the
steering wheel centre, see under "Horn Ring
Assembly-To remove and refit".
2. Remove the steering wheel-see under
"Steering Wheel-To remove and refit".
3. Remove the slip ring from the inner column
followed by the striker by slackening the nut
and bolt of the striker.
4. Remove the direction Indicator switch from
the steering column, see under .. Direction
Indicator Switch-To remove and refit".
5. Remove the steering unit from the car, see
under "Steering Unit-To remove from car
Alpine".
6. Refitting is the reverse of the removal sequence.
