Centering Sir Coil Assembly
NOTE:
If column is allowed to rotate when disconnected from
steering gear, or centering spring is pushed down allowing
hub to rotate while SIR coil is removed, perform following
procedure. New coil assemblies are centered and held in
position with a plastic tab. Remove tab after coil assembly
is installed.
NOTE:
There are 2 different styles of coils. One rotates clockwise
and the other rotates counterclockwise.
- Ensure front wheels are in straight-ahead position. Hold coil assembly with clear bottom upward to see coil ribbon. While holding coil assembly housing and pressing spring lock, rotate hub in direction of arrow (on bottom of assembly) until it stops. Coil assembly should now be wound up snug against center hub.
- Rotate coil assembly hub in opposite direction about 2 1/2 turns. Release spring lock between locking tabs in front of arrow. See Fig 1. Coil assembly can now be installed if wheels are in straight-ahead position.
