Mounting A 9-Bolt Steering Wheel To Tilt/Telescoping Column
Instruction #: 8000010012 REV 12/12
The first thing you should know is that all 9-bolt steering
wheels are not all alike. They all have 9 screws that hold the
wheel to the adaptor, but some are thicker than others. On
our Tilt/Telescoping columns we chose to adjust the 9-bolt
lock down to fit Lecarra brand steering wheels. Brands
such a Billet Specialties, Budnick & Boyd are thicker than
Lecarra wheels. That being said, the screws provided with
our 9-bolt adaptor will fit a Lecarra steering wheel, but may
need to be longer to fit some of the other brands available.
Some brands have the screws enter the bottom side of the
wheel. That combination will not work with this adaptor.
1. Disconnect the positive battery cable before installation.
2. When you receive your new column the front lock
down has been adjusted to fit the above listed wheel. To
install the wheel the first thing you must do is remove
the horn button. Use a small pocketknife or small flat
head screwdriver to pry the button out of the lock down.
(Figure 1) Next, disconnect the horn wire from the back
of the button, but leave the other end connected to the
adaptor.
3. Tuck the horn wire down into the center of the adaptor.
(Figure 2) Loosen the 10-32 Phillips head screw and
lock washer until it comes out of the half moon slot
that its in, making sure that it doesn’t hang up on the
horn wire.
(Figure 3) Rotate the lock down counter
clockwise until the 5/16 x 18 set screw is completely out
of the shaft.
(Figure 4) Set lock down aside.
4. You should now be looking at the 9 8-32 x 5/8 stainless
steel flat heads. Take them out. (Figure 5) VERY
IMPORTANT!!! Before installing your wheel, the horn
cam hole in the adaptor (where the horn wire goes)
needs to be at the 10:30 position or halfway between
9 o’clock and 12 o’clock when the steering wheel is
mounted level/straight and the road wheels are pointing
straight.
5. With the wheel in position, install the 9 screws and
tighten them down. (Figure 6) Now reinstall the lock
down and turn clockwise until it’s tight. (Figure 7)
Install 10-32 Phillips head screw (with lock washer) until
it’s tight. This screw is used to prevent over tightening
or overturning of the lock-down, which would cause the
horn wire to wrap when the column telescoped.
6. Re-install the horn wire to the horn button and reinstall
the button with the logo centered. (Figure 8)
7. Reconnect the positive battery cable.
