To remove
Important: The power steering system is extremely sensitive to contamination. Therefore, observe a high degree of cleanliness when working on the
power steering system.
1. Turn the steering wheel to the straight-ahead position.
Warning: Secure the steering wheel in this position to avoid twisting the coil spring to such an extent that it breaks.
Note: One way to secure the steering wheel is to tape it to the dashboard with heavy-duty adhesive tape of fabric-backed type.
2. Remove the bolt securing the steering column shaft to the steering gear (accessible under the dashboard) and push the steering column shaft
upwards, withdrawing it from the steering gear.
Warning: Under no circumstances is the steering shaft to be separated.
