Installation of column

Install the original under dash mount to the

column using the provided hardware. Torque

bolts to 22 Ft. Lbs. Now wrap the lower 4-6

inches of the column tube to protect the sur-

face finish of the column when completing

the installation. Next, slide and tape the floor

mount clamp to column. Make sure the clamp

is up and out of the way. (Figure 8)

Since the firewall mount is welded to the

OEM column, we have included a new floor

mount and gasket for this application. Install

the new gasket and mount onto the firewall

with the original bolts loosely. (Figure 9)

Slide the new column through the fire-

wall mount and into the intermediate

shaft joint. A helper is highly recom-

mended here to assist with the joint.

Then loosely install the two bolts that

hold the column to the dash. (Figure

10)

Make sure the gasket is aligned properly and

tighten the floor mount to the floor.

Now tighten the two dash bolts to 42 FT. LBS.

Next tighten the clamp on the floor mount to the

column. This sequence allows the column and

its mounts to secure with no miss-alignment.

(Figure 11)

Finally, secure the joint onto the column with the original hard-

ware.
