15. Remove the lower steering shaft assembly (1).




Important: Mark the race and upper shaft assembly and the lower steering shaft assembly to ensure proper assembly. Failure to assemble properly will cause the steering wheel to be turned 180 degrees.

16. Tilt the race and upper shaft assembly 90 degrees to the lower steering shaft assembly and disengage. If necessary, remove and discard the old centering sphere and joint preload spring.



17. Remove 4 TORX® head screws (3) from the tilt actuator assembly (2) that is mounted on the steering column support assembly (1).



18. Remove the retaining ring (5), compression spring (4), shoulder bolt, (3) and the anti rotation ball (1) from the steering column support assembly (2).



19. Remove the 4 TORX® head screws (2) from the telescope actuator assembly (3) that is mounted on the telebearing and jacket assembly (1).



20. Remove the 4 TORX® head screws (1).
21. Remove the steering column support assembly (3) from the telebearing and jacket assembly (2).

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

1. Install the steering column support assembly (3) to the telebearing and jacket assembly (2) by using the 4 TORX® head screws (1).

Tighten
Tighten the screws to 17 N·m (13 lb ft).




2. Install the tilt actuator asm (2) to the steering column support assembly (1) and secure by using the 4 TORX® head screws (3).

Tighten
Tighten the screws to 9 N·m (80 lb in).




3. Install the anti rotation ball (1), shoulder bolt (3), compression spring (4) and the retaining ring (5) to the steering column support assembly (2).



4. Install the telescope actuator assembly (3) to the telebearing and jacket assembly (1) by using the 4 TORX® head screws (2).

Tighten
Tighten the screws to 9 N·m (80 lb in).




5. Install the centering sphere (1) and the joint preload spring (2) using J 41688 . Lubricate the centering sphere (1) with lithium grease.



6. Compress the centering sphere and joint preload spring. Rotate the driver 90 degrees in the clockwise direction until the arms lock in place.



7. Install the race and upper shaft assembly (1). Rotate the race and upper shaft assembly 90 degrees.



8. Remove the race and upper shaft assembly with the J 41688 . Once removed, you may remove the race and upper shaft assembly with the centering sphere.



9. Apply lithium grease to the exposed shaft engagement areas (1) and then install the lower steering shaft assembly (2).



10. Install the lower steering shaft assembly (1) into the steering column tilt head assembly.



11. Install the steering column tilt head assembly (2).
12. Install the 2 pivot pins (1) using J 21854-01 .



13. Lubricate the pivot pins (1) with lithium grease.
14. Firmly seat each pivot pin (1) into the steering column tilt head assembly.
15. Stake the steering column support assembly in 3 locations around each pivot pin.



16. Install the ball stud (2) through the opening at the end of the tilt actuator assembly (1) located on the steering column tilt head assembly (3). Lubricate the ball stud (2) with grease #774 VLF.



17. Install the turn signal and multifunction switch assembly (1) with the cruise control switch assembly and secure by using the 2 pan head tapping screws (2).

Tighten
Tighten the screws to 7 N·m (62 lb in).




18. Install and align the adapter and bearing assembly (1).
19. Install the lower bearing seat (3). The lower bearing seat must be in contact with the adapter and bearing assembly (1).
20. Install the lower bearing spring (2).



21. Install the lower spring retainer (1). Press the spring retainer onto the lower steering shaft assembly to 36 MM from the end of the adapter and bearing assembly.




Important: The lower steering shaft assembly must be rotated to the center position or 12 o'clock position.

22. Install the dual triangle sensor assembly (1).

22.1.

Rotate the center of the sensor until the pin slides into the locating hole. It may take up to 5 revolutions.

22.2.

Push the sensor onto the lower steering shaft assembly until the sensor locating finger falls into the slot on the lower steering shaft assembly.
