STEERING COLUMN DISASSEMBLY

Page 7-3).
2. While supporting steering column (21) on a workbench, remove snap ring (13) from shaft.See following
NOTE.
NOTE: Do not allow the steering shaft to slide out of the steering tube when removing the snap ring.
3. Remove the washer (14), spring (15) and wedge (16). See following NOTE.
NOTE: Use a new seal, retaining rings and new bearings for reassembly.
4. Slide the shaft out of the tube to expose the retaining ring (22). Use pliers to twist the retaining ring (22)
until it breaks off, then remove the wedge (16).
5. Remove the shaft (19) from the bottom of the tube (20).
6. Use steering shaft (19) to push bearing seat (18) out from the opposite end of the steering tube (20).

lip of the bearing seat (18) and remove the bearing (17).
STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY
1. Insert bearing seat (18) into both ends of steering tube (20). Place a block of wood on bearing seat and
tap lightly on block until bearing seat (18) is fully seated in steering tube (20) (Figure 7-5, Page 7-5).
2. Press the bearing (17) all the way into the bearing seat (18) using a steering column bearing press tool
(CCI P/N 1014264) or a metal tube approximately six inches (15.2 cm) long with a maximum outer diam-
eter of 1-3/16 inches (3.3 cm) and a minimum inside diameter of 7/8 inch (2.2 cm). Be sure the bearing
is installed in the bearing seat as shown (Figure 7-5, Page 7-5) so the wedge (16) will ride against the
