Repair of an Unseated ididit Steering Column
For Part Number’s 2620100010
Instruction #: 8000010055 REV 12/12
Reassembly:
1. To reassemble the column, you need to first make sure
the shaft is up and against the lower bearing. To do this,
apply 10-15 lbs of pressure to the bottom of the column
shaft. In the column, on the shaft, will be the inner race
for the bearing. It may have popped out of place, just tap it
back down into position with the screw driver. When it’s
repositioned, almost all the side to side play will be gone
and the top edge of the race will be 1/8th below the step on
the shaft. This will make the top edge even with the cage
of the bearing.
(Figure 7)
2. Now install the billet race retainer with the flat side facing
up. This will also have to be tapped into position and
should set over the large diameter of the shaft. The bottom
of this fits into the race and acts as a wedge to remove the
remaining movement.
(Figure 8)
3. Next reinstall the spring, and then the horn cam. (Figure
9)
4. The next item is the little black plastic spacer provided in
the kit. It has a countersink on one side which will be the
up side. Slip this on the shaft.
(Figure 10)
5. You may also want to grab the new clip. This clip, if new,
is very hard to start over the taper. It would be wise to get a
pair of needle nose pliers and spread this clip apart so there
is a 1/16” gap at its ends. This will ease the installation of
the clip but will not hurt its function. You will need to start
the clip onto the taper before using the tube to press it on.
(Figure 11 & 12)
6. Remember that spring inside?? You are going to use the
tube provided in the kit to compress this spring and the
clip down onto the shaft. This will require about 65 lbs. of
force. When the clip is in place you will hear it snap. This
will set the preload on the bearings.
(Figure 13 & 14)
7. Now that the column is back together, you need to check
and make sure your driving wheels are straight. Once they
are, gently turn the white tube to the 10:30- 11:00 position.
This will center the timing for the turn signal cancellation.
Next install the steering wheel and horn wire.
Now that your wheel is back on you can check for play in the
column. If this did not fix it and you’re sure the column was
assembled correctly, call our tech line. We will be happy to
assist any way we can.
