Power steering and steering cables

Replacing the Steering Cables

1. Loosen the steering cables' rear mount (1).
2. Remove the frame plate.
3. Loosen the steering cables' front fixture (2) by
the steering chain (3) and pull out the steering
cables through the frame.
Note If the old cables are whole, the new cables
can be attached to the old when they are pulled out
through the frame. The new cables will then
automatically sit in the proper position.
Hold the cables with, for example, a wrench when
mounting so that they do not twist.
Ensure that the steering wheel is in the centre
position when the rear wheels are centred. Re-set
the chain on the power steering sprocket or adjust
the rear fixture for the steering cables (1) as
needed.
