Steering Gear: Service and Repair
GEAR
REMOVAL
NOTE: Before proceeding, Refer to Service Precautions.
1. Place the steering wheel in the STRAIGHT AHEAD position. Using a steering wheel holder, lock the steering wheel in place to keep it from
rotating. This keeps the clock spring in the proper orientation.
2. Remove the silencer pad below the knee blocker panel below the steering column.
3. Fold down and remove the knee blocker.
4. Remove the steering column coupling retainer pin, back off the pinch bolt nut, and remove the steering column coupling pinch bolt (the pinch bolt
nut is caged to the coupling and is not removable). Separate the upper and lower steering column couplings.
5. Raise the vehicle.
6. Remove both front tire and wheel assemblies from the vehicle.
