Shaft Installation:
1.
Cut the steering column 1” from the bottom support bearing (see pic below).
2. Install column joint end onto stock steering shaft & tighten. Note: On big block cars it is
necessary to slide shaft under header tube to clear & attach to column shaft.
3. Tighten the allen style screw in place in order to hold the u-joint to the column. Rotate the
column shaft joint to access the thru-hole (see pic below).
4. Use supplied drill bit to drill through column shaft and blank side of u-joint. Install the larger
roll pin provided by tapping it into place until flush with the side of the u-joint. Next tap the
smaller pin into the larger pin already installed until it is flush as well. This will ensure a
positive lock.
a. If the u-joint has two thru holes, drill half way thru the column shaft. Then rotate the
joint 180 degrees and use thru hole to finish drilling the column shaft.
5. Remove the allen set screw and apply
“RED” locktite
thread lock to threads and reinstall &
tighten.
6. Install heim joint into threaded hole of column support bracket so about five threads are
showing. Install jam nut on bracket. Do Not Tighten.
