Removal
1. Remove cover from center of steering wheel.
2. Remove the lock nut that secures the steering wheel
to the shaft. Pull the steering wheel and foam seal off the
steering valve shaft (Fig. 13).

remove the steering wheel from the steering shaft.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT hit the steering shaft with a
hammer. This could damage the steering valve com-
ponents.
