Steering Shaft Coupling
Installation
(1) Insert the column and jacket tube assembly
through the floor pan opening, being careful not to
soil or damage the headlining.
(2)
Position the clamp on the coupling and with
the master splines on the worm shaft and coupling
aligned, engage the column coupling with the steer-
ing gear worm shaft.
(3) Loosely fasten the steering column jacket to
the instrument panel bracket with the clamp and the
two attaching screws. Be sure the tab on the clamp
is entered in the locating slot in the column jacket.
NOTE: The column jacket clamp must
be
installed
with the tab edge up on AP-1, AP-2, AR-1, AR-2
Models and the tab edge down on AV-1, AV-2 Mod-
els.
(4)
With the steering shaft coupling clamp in posi-
tion on the coupling assembly, install the clamp bolt
so
that
it
engages the groove in the wormshaft. Tight-
en clamp bolt nut to 30 foot pounds torque.
( 5 )
The steering shaft coupling must be centered
at the midpoint of its travel.
AV-1 and AV-2 Models with Power Steering:
Move
the column assembly up or down in the instrument
panel bracket so the dimension between the top of
the coupling and the jacket seal is
1/2
inch (Fig.
15).
Tighten the steering column bracket clamp screws
se-
curely.
AR-1 and AR-2 Models, AV-1 and AV-2 Models with
Manual Steering:
Move the column assembly up or
down in the instrument panel bracket
so
the dimen-
sion between the top of the coupling and the center
of the gauge hole (Fig. 16) is
13/18
inch. Tighten the
steering column bracket clamp screws securely.
AP-1 and AP-2 Models:
Move the column assembly
up or down in the instrument panel bracket
so
the
rear edge of the coupling boot aligns with the gauge
hole in the shaft (Fig. 17). Tighten the steering col-
umn bracket clamp screws securely.
(6) Push the floor plate down to contact the toe
board, and start the floor plate to toe board attach-
ing bolts, leaving them just loose enough so the floor
plate can be shifted to align the lower end of the col-
umn jacket.
(7) Visually inspect to be sure the lower end of the
column jacket and shifter tube assembly is concentric
with the steering shaft. If they are not concentric, shift
the floor plate to a position where it holds the column
jacket and shift tube assembly concentric with the
steering shaft and tighten the floor plate to toe board
attaching screws to 90 inch pounds.
NOTE: If the column jacket and shift tube assem-
bly are not concentric it is possible for the steer-
ing shaft to rub on the inside surface of the shifter
tube at the lower end.
(8)
Recheck the lower end of the column jacket
and shift tube assembly, to assure that they have re-
mained concentric with the steering shaft after
