Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Service Procedure





1. Pull back the lower intermediate steering shaft boot to allow room for sleeve installation (Figure 1).





2. With the front wheels in the straight ahead position, snap the provided sleeve over the intermediate shaft with the open side of the sleeve facing downward (Figure 2).

NOTE:





If there is not enough shaft length for the sleeve to fit on the intermediate shaft, use a screwdriver placed against the upper boss of the intermediate shaft to gently work the lower steering column shaft back up into the steering column (Figure 3). Then install the sleeve.

3. Install the three (3) provided tie straps around the sleeve, positioning them in the center of each notched-out area of the sleeve (Figure 2). Cut off the free ends of the straps.

4. Install the intermediate shaft boot over the lower end of the sleeve.
