Steering Column Assembly, Continued:
4. Insert the shaft (11) from the bottom of the steering tube (14) (Figure 7-1, Page 7-2).
5. Turn the assembly over and place the shaft (11) on a bench. Install the wedge (8) and retaining ring (12)
onto the top of the shaft. Be sure the prongs on the retaining ring face up and away from the wedge. Use
a steering column retaining ring tool (CCI 1014259) to seat the retaining ring to the proper depth. Support
end of tube while pressing. If you do not have the recommended tool, use the same tube as was used
in Step 2 to press the retaining ring onto the top of the shaft. The retaining ring should be pressed onto
the shaft until 2 to 2-1/8 inches (5.1-5.4 cm) of the shaft extends from the top of the bearing seat in the
steering tube (Figure 7-6, Page 7-5).
STEERING COLUMN INSTALLATION
1. Install boot (26) (if previously removed) (Figure 7-1, Page 7-2).
2. For ease of assembly and to prevent corrosion, apply a light coat of anti-seize or lubricating compound
to both splined ends of the steering shaft.
3. Position the steering column assembly in the vehicle while inserting the steering column shaft into the
upper universal joint (1). The flat portion of the steering shaft spline (11) must be aligned with the bolt hole
in the universal joint (1) before sliding the spline into the universal joint (Figure 7-1, Page 7-2).
4. Install the bolt (2) and lock washer (3) on the upper universal joint and finger tighten (Figure 7-4, Page
7-4).
5. While holding the steering column in place, attach it to the frame using bolts (15), washers (16) and lock
nuts (17) (Figure 7-1, Page 7-2). Tighten the four bolts, in a crisscross pattern to 23 ft-lb (31.2 N·m).
6. Tighten the bolt (2) on the upper universal joint to 15 ft-lb (20 N·m) (Figure 7-1, Page 7-2).
7. Check all universal joint bolts for proper torque of 15 ft-lb (20 N·m).
8. Install the front body. See Front Body Installation, Section 4, Page 4-5.
9. Install dashboard. See Dashboard Installation, Section 4, Page 4-3.
10. Install dash panel. See Dash Panel Installation, Section 4, Page 4-3.
11. Install the steering wheel. See Steering Wheel Installation on page 7-3.
12. Inspect the brake hoses at the front wheels. When turning the steering wheel all the way from left to right
and back again, the hoses should not come in contact with any component, especially the wheels or tires.
RACK AND PINION
Read WARNING on page 7-1.
RACK AND PINION REMOVAL
1. Place chocks at the rear wheels, loosen the front wheel lug nuts and lift the front of the vehicle with a
chain hoist or floor jack. Place jack stands under the front frame tube to support the vehicle and lower
the floor jack or chain hoist so that the vehicle is resting on the jack stands.
2. Remove the lug nuts from the front wheels.
3. Remove the cotter pins (18) and ball joint retaining nuts (24) (Figure 7-20, Page 7-11).
