Refitting clock spring

REFITTING CLOCK SPRING

If the clock spring does not have to be replaced, refit it after having removed the adhesive tape or the band fitted previously, without rotating the upper ring, then tighten the 3 fixing bolts.

If, during fitting, the upper ring should get stuck, simply pull it upwards until a click is heard indicating that it has locked into place;

The lower casing of the clock spring comes in two different colours:
Black for vehicles with power assisted steering.
White for vehicles without power assisted steering.

When a new clock spring is being fitted, fix it to the steering column switch unit using the 3 bolts shown in the diagram at the side.

tear off the plastic safety tab for locking the new clock spring upper ring, checking that the ring does not rotate; if this is not the case, pull the ring upwards until a click is heard;
