Steering Shaft Disassembly

  1. Position the upper shaft 90 degrees to the lower shaft and separate the two parts.
    CAUTION: Prior to separating the upper shaft from the lower shaft, note the relationship of the upper shaft, with the lock bolt slot at the 12 o'clock position, to the lower shaft pinch bolt groove at the 7 O'clock position. Refer to this orientation for proper assembly.
