2. Clamp the steering wheel shaft in a vise, install the lower nylon ring on the shaft at an appropriate distance (X = 52 mm; Y = 189±3 mm).

3. Install the bearings into the shaft sleeve.

4. Install the spring and bottom bearing spacer onto the shaft.


5. Install the bushing, upper bearing pad and turn signal off cam onto the shaft.

6. Install the steering wheel at the end of the shaft, tighten the fastening nut and install the artificial material cover on the steering wheel hub.
