Slip the original dash cover

install the dash mount with
the new bolts provided.
Note: The mount should
have the rounded corners
facing the bottom of the
column. These bolts
should be torqued to 22 ft.
lbs. (See Figures 10 & 11)
PREPARATION:
Slip the column through the dash and install the floor mount and gasket over the col-
umn facing correctly. You may want to cover the edge of the dash with a cloth so
you don’t scratch your shiny new column. (See Figure 12)

Get your helper to hold the u-joint from
the intermediate shaft. Rotate the col-
umn shaft until the flat on the shaft aligns
with the pinch bolt for the joint. Slide the
column down into the joint. The column
shaft should slide in with 1/8” or less of the
spline showing above the joint. Install the
original bolt and nut and tighten to 42 ft.
