Setting the Shaft Spacing

The size of pre-existing openings in
the dash or installation kit determines
the best spacing between the ster-
eo's shafts (knobs).
The space between the shafts is pre-
1
set to 5 / inches (130 mm) at the fac-
8
tory. If needed, you can change the
spacing to 5 3 / inches (136 mm), 5
8
inches (142 mm), or 5
(148 mm).
Measure the size of the pre-existing
openings in the dash or installation
kit. Then, if you need to change the
shaft spacing, follow these steps.
1. Loosen the shaft nuts on both
shafts.
2. Move each shaft positioner to
the correct pair of holes, as
shown.

one or both shaft positioners
180° so they fit the mounting
holes.
3. Tighten the shaft nuts on both
shafts.
