Connect the intermediate shaft to steering column with the retainer assembly and two nuts. Apply grease (ESA-M1C75-B) liberally to the inside of
the V-groove of the mating steering column yoke. Ensure the "vee-angle" of the intermediate shaft fits correctly into the "vee-angle" of the mating
steering column yoke (Attachment III).
CAUTION: If the "vee-angle" on the intermediate shaft is mis-aligned to the column yoke, and the retainer is tightened to specification, the
retainer plate will be bent, and then, MUST be replaced.
After correctly installing the steering column to intermediate shaft, tighten nuts to 21-33 N-m (15-25 ft.lbs.).
