Assembly
1. Check the condition of the steering column elements (see Fig. Steering) and whether the hexagonal section of the shaft is covered with oil or grease.
2. Clamp the steering wheel shaft in a vice, install the lower nylon ring on the shaft at the appropriate distance (X = 52 mm; Y = 189±3 mm).
3. Install the bearings into the shaft sleeve.
4. Install the spring and lower support pad onto the shaft.
5. Install the bushing, upper support gasket and turn signal release cam onto the shaft.
6. Install the steering wheel on the end of the shaft, tighten the mounting nut and install the synthetic material cover on the steering wheel hub.
Attention! The distance between the welded shaft gasket and the lower bearing should be 12±1 mm. If this condition is not met, it is necessary to replace the steering wheel shaft.
