(9) Install the lower support cup in the jacket (Fig.
lo), while holding pressure against the cup to over-
come the selector spring load, start the three support
cup retaining screws, and tighten to 30 inch pounds.
(10) Loosely enter the lower bushing retaining
screws through the slots in the jacket, and into the
nylon bushings (Fig. 1 0 ) .
(11) Rotate the nylon bushing to where all play at
the shift levers and spacers is eliminated, but no bind-
ing occurs. With the bushing in this position, tighten
the two bushings to jacket screws to 30 inch pounds
torque.
NOTE: The shift tube must be free to slide up and
down in its bushings. No binding is permissible.
(12) The gearshift lever insulator should be ex-
amined, and if any wear or damage is evident, it
should be pulled off the lever and replaced.
(13) Place a screw driver blade between the 2nd
and 3rd speed shift lever and the selector lever,
so
it will hold the selector lever at neutral position half
way between the two shift levers (Fig. 13).
(14)
Position the gearshift lever in the shift lever
housing so it engages the hole in the shift tube plate
with the pin hole aligned.
(15) Support the jacket tube housing in the area
around the pin hole (Fig. 9) and drive the pivot pin in
ff ush with the housing.
NOTE: Before sliding the column jacket lower seal
onto the steering shaft, the seal should be lubri-
cated. Fill the cavity in the inside diameter of the
seal, between the two moulded in seal bushings with
short fibre wheel bearing lubricant.
(16) Slide the seal onto the steering shaft, and
down against the coupling, with the lip at the out-
side diameter facing upward,
so the seal can
be posi-
tioned on the lower end of the column jacket during
assembly.

(17) Slide the steering shaft into the column as-
sembly, and install the horseshoe shaped lower snap
ring in the lower groove on the steering shaft.
(18) Place
the steering column upper bearing on
the steering shaft.
(19) Position the wavy upper snap ring against the
top of the bearing.
Place bearing installing sleeve Tool C-3879 and
the steering wheel retaining washer and nut, on the
top of the steering shaft in that order (Fig. 14).
NOTE: Never press the bearing into position with
a sleeve that exerts pressure against the outer race,
since this would damage the bearing. Do not drive
the bearing into place with a hammer, since dam-
age to the bearing and steering shaft coupling will
occur.
(20)
Turn the steering wheel retaining nut to exert
pressure on the installing sleeve, upper snap ring,
and bearing, pressing the bearing down onto the
knurled section of the steering shaft and against the
lower snap ring.
Exert sufficient pressure against the upper snap
ring to flatten it against the bearing
so
it
can enter
the groove in the steering tube. Be sure the snap
ring is firmly seated in the groove.
(21) Place the insulator over
the bearing, then
slide the steering shaft, bearing and insulator down-
ward into the counterbore provided in the bearing
housing.
(22) Position the turn signal switch assembly
in the
bearing housing, while feeding the wiring through the
steering column and out through the opening pro-
vided in the column jacket.
(23) Place the switch plate over the switch, and in-
stall the three switch retaining screws (Fig.
7).
Tighten screws to 24 inch pounds torque.
(24) Position the turn signal lever in the assembly,
sighting down through the hole in the switch to align
the screw hole, and install the lever attaching screw.
Tighten screws to 24 inch pounds torque.
