WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Dodge Intrepid, 2004 Chrysler Intrepid, 2004 Chrysler Concorde, and 2004 Chrysler 300M. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Start roll pin into coupler prior to installing coupler on steering column shaft. Install roll pin into coupler just far enough to square roll pin to hole in flex coupler. If roll pin is installed too far, coupler will not slide onto steering column shaft.
Install coupler on steering shaft until correctly positioned to allow roll pin to be installed in coupler.
Install Puller, Special Tool 6831-A, through center of roll pin and install knurled nut (Fig 1 ).
