ling
Removing
– Remove the steering column, refer to
⇒ “2.2 Steering Column, Removing and Installing”,
page 284 .
– Mount steering column in vise as shown in illustration.
– Mark position of upper part to lower part.
– Pull lower part off upper part with a sharp jerk

Installing
Install in reverse order of removal. Note the following:
– Before installation, check contact surface of the guide on the
lower part -arrow- for dirt and scores.
Note

sufficient sealing between steering column and protective boot
can no longer be guaranteed.

shown in illustration.
– Assemble steering column so that markings align and sliding
together is performed with a jerk.
– When the steering column has been correctly assembled, the
lower part cannot be separated from the upper part using nor‐
mal force.
