Steering Column: Reassembly

  1. Install steering column lock and upper bearing assembly. Tighten bolts to 12-20 ft. lbs. (16-28 N.m). Stake upper shaft serration diameter enough to ensure an interference fit between bearing and steering column upper shaft.
  2. Position bearing and insulator as far down steering column upper shaft as possible. To seat bearing and insulator, put a piece of pipe1 1/2" (38.1 mm) long by 3/4" (19.05 mm) inside diameter over end of steering shaft. Install flat washer and steering wheel nut over pipe and tighten until bearing is seated. See Fig 1 . Install a new snap ring.
  3. Install combination switch, bearing retaining plate and key warning sensor. See Fig 1 . Install upper column shroud. Install tumbler assembly by turning tumbler and pressing release pin. Install air bag clockspring and remove tape strips. Tighten steering wheel nut to 23-33 ft. lbs. (31-45 N.m). Ensure curl strap is secured by retaining clips. Install steering column assembly.
