STEERING WHEEL INSTALLATION
NOTE: To minimize corrosion and to make future removal of the steering wheel easier, apply a small
amount of oil or anti-seize compound to steering shaft splines and taper before installing the steer-
ing wheel.

placed on the wheel and steering column shaft in step 6 above (Figure 7-1, Page 7-3).
2. Install the steering wheel nut (18) and tighten to 13 ft-lb (17.6 N·m).
3. Install the steering wheel plate (19) and plate mounting screws (24) (Figure 7-1, Page 7-3). Tighten
screws to 16 in-lb (1.8 N·m).
4. Connect the spark plug.
5. Connect the battery cables, positive (+) cable first, and tighten terminals to 20 ft-lb (27 N·m). Coat ter-
minals with Battery Terminal Protector Spray (CCI P/N 1014305).
