Steering Column: Reassembly

To assemble, reverse disassembly procedure. Coat bushings, main shaft bearing and steering lock wedges with molybdenum disulfide lithium base grease before reassembly. Install NEW bushings, bearings and snap rings. Replace tube attachment if deformed. Ensure column tube support is facing correct direction. While holding support, tighten column tube support bolt. Tighten all bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Using NEW bolts, tighten column upper clamp tapered head bolts until bolt head breaks off.
