Steering column removal process
Unlike the BR35/12 the bearing set that holds the steering column and deck pivot cannot be accessed by removing the recovery
tank. The process below describes the most efficient way to access the bearing set.
5/8"
9/16
To reduce the amount of time to remove the steering shaft assembly, it is recommended that a hole be drilled in the
upper deck cover to align with the screws in the pivot mount. Using the two plastic tabs as reference pace a mark at
5/8" front to back then a then intersect that line at 9/16" from the tab to the right. Using a 1/2" drill bit place a hole in
the upper cover, by rotating the head you can align with each of the 4 screws holding the deck to the pivot. Once fin-
ished with the repair, plug the hole with a stopper or waterproof tape on the top side of the deck cover.
Rotate head to line up
screws for removal.
