8. Once the cut is made, install the provided bearing into place by tapping it and walking it
around with a hammer until it is seated flush in place at the base of the column tube. At this
time also it is necessary to install the provided stainless clamp over the large part of the
column tube only. To do this you can pry up on the shifter linkage and slip the clamp between
the tubes and restart thread on clamp.
9. Once that is done you can reinstall the column tube in place. Using the new floor plate align
your column using the stock u clamp at the top under dash to hold it in place while you
assemble the floor plate. Before installing the floor plate you will need to take a pair of pliers
and bend the 3 tabs on the plate toward the inside of the car. These tabs will now support the
column at the firewall and allow the clamp on the column to squeeze the tabs on the plate.
