Sir CLOCKSPRING Assembly

NOTE: If clockspring assembly hub or steering shaft were rotated after assembly was removed, use the following procedure to center clockspring ribbon before installing assembly. A new clockspring ribbon does not require centering, as it is already centered and held in position with a plastic tab. Remove tab after clockspring assembly is installed.
  1. Hold clockspring assembly with clear bottom upward to see clockspring ribbon. While holding clockspring assembly housing and pressing spring lock, rotate hub in direction of arrow (on bottom of assembly) until it stops. Clockspring assembly should now be wound up snug against center hub.
  2. Rotate clockspring assembly hub in opposite direction about 2 1/2 turns. Release spring lock between locking tabs in front of arrow. clockspring assembly can now be installed if wheels are in straight-ahead position.
