Tools Required

1. Remove the pivot and pulse switch assembly. Refer to Pivot and Pulse Switch Assembly - Off Vehicle .



2. Remove the 2 tapping screws (1) from the turn signal and multifunction switch assembly (2).
3. Remove the turn signal and multifunction switch assembly (2).



4. Remove the steering shaft seal (1).
5. Remove the sensor retainer (2).
6. Remove the analog extended range sensor assembly (3).



7. Remove the lower spring retainer (1).
8. Remove the lower bearing spring (2).
9. Remove the lower bearing seat (3).
10. Remove the adapter and bearing assembly (4).



11. Remove 2 pivot pins (1) using J 21854-01 .



12. Remove the steering column tilt head assembly (1) with the steering shaft assembly from the steering column support assembly (2).



13. Remove the steering shaft assembly (2) from the steering column tilt head assembly (1).




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

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



15. Remove 4 torx head screws (1).
16. Remove the steering column support assembly (2) from the steering column jacket assembly (3).

Important: Replace steering column support assembly after column has been staked three times.

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 (2) to the steering column jacket assembly (3) by using 4 torx head screws (1).

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




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



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



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



5. Remove the race and upper shaft assembly with the J 41688 . Rotate the race and upper shaft assembly 90 degrees and remove with the centering sphere.



6. Apply lithium grease to the exposed shaft engagement areas. Install the upper shaft (1) to the lower shaft (2).



7. Install the steering shaft assembly (2) to the steering column tilt head assembly (1).



8. Install the steering shaft assembly with the steering column tilt head assembly (1) into the steering column support assembly (2).



9. Install 2 pivot pins (1).

Stake the pivot pins in 3 locations.




10. Install the adapter and bearing assembly (4).
11. Install the lower bearing seat (3). The lower bearing seat must be in contact with the adapter and bearing assembly.
12. Install the lower bearing spring (2).
13. Install the lower spring retainer (1).




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

14. Install the analog extended range sensor assembly (1).

14.1.

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

14.2.

Push the sensor onto the steering shaft assembly.




15. Install the sensor retainer (1). Align the slots of the sensor retainer to the ribs of the adapter and bearing assembly. Push the sensor retainer (1) until it contacts the analog extended range sensor assembly.
16. Install the steering shaft seal (2).



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

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

18. Install the pivot and pulse switch assembly. Refer to Pivot and Pulse Switch Assembly - Off Vehicle .
