Do not use the original pinch bolt and nut. Failure to replace the pinch
bolt and nut may result in failure of the steering causing loss of control
of the vehicle. This could lead to property damage and/or severe bodily
injury.
Make sure that the pinch bolt
is not aligned with the flat on
the steering shaft. Aligning
the bolt with the flat could
result in failure of the steering
and loss of control of the
vehicle. This could lead to
property damage and/or
severe bodily injury.
11. Remove the steering shaft from the vehicle.
12. Lightly grease the input shaft splines, steering wheel
splines and the upper steering shaft bushing.
13. Install the steering shaft in reverse order using a
new pinch bolt. Orientate the shaft so that the pinch
bolt is opposite the flat in the steering gear shaft.
See the illustration to the right.
14. Tighten the pinch bolt to 24-26 ft-lbs.
15. Reconnect the main positive and negative cables at the batteries.
