Note: This piece is collapsible. Tap it in about 1 ” This will allow the clearance needed to install the
bearing.
10. Once that is complete you need to make sure the steering shaft itself is clean and free of burs. Install
the supplied bearing over the steering shaft and tap it into the column tube by walking it in with a
small hammer.

the end of the steering shaft and mark it. Cut the steering shaft off at that mark.
12. You now need to install the provided aluminum bushing over the shaft.
