5. You can now install the provided bushing and bearing into the bottom of the column by centering it
over the opening and tapping it into place lightly with a hammer. Do this with the new column shaft in
the column tube.
6. Next install the new upper column bearing. Install this in the same manner as the lower bearing and
install the original snap ring to hold it in place.
7. You are now ready to install the rack. First be sure the rack is centered. There is a mark on the pinion
and the housing that will line up when centered. When that is done, from under the car you can install
the mount bracket between the frame rails. Slide two of the
4 ¼” bolts through the passenger side
and the third through the upper hole on the driver side. Slide the two longer 4 ½” bolts through the
two lower holes on the driver side. Once you have the bolts through you can install the column
support bracket over the rack bracket using the longer lower 2 bolts on the driver side. Install the flat
washers and lock nuts at this time but do not tighten.
