Make sure to line up the hole in the hex rod with the arrow
on the pinion gear. See Fig. 3-8.
NOTE: The hex rod will fit snuggly into the pinion gear.
Support the rear of the dash panel with one hand while
inserting the hex rod with your other hand to ensure the
hex rod is inserted all the way into the pinion gear.
NOTE: The hole is a reference for aligning the rod with the
indicator arrow on the pinion gear, and will be visible after
the rod has been inserted.

engagement of the hex rod into the pinion gear if required.
