Intermediate Shaft: Installation

The steering column assembly will need to be removed from the interior of the vehicle to allow for replacement of the steering column shaft coupler assembly.

1. Start roll pin into universal joint prior to installing intermediate shaft on steering column shaft. Install roll pin into just far enough to square roll pin to hole in universal joint. If roll pin is installed too far, universal joint will not slid onto steering column shaft.
2. Install intermediate shaft on steering shaft until correctly positioned to allow roll pin to be installed in coupler.
3. Install Remover/Installer, Special Tool 6831-A, through center of roll pin and install knurled nut as shown (See Fig 1).
4. Using Remover/Installer (See Fig 1), install roll pin into the coupler until roll pin is fully and evenly installed through both sides of the coupler assembly.
5. Reinstall steering column as necessary back in vehicle. Refer to INSTALLATION - STEERING COLUMN  for the required procedure.
