Installation of column
Install the original under dash mount to the
column using the provided hardware. Torque
bolts to 22 Ft. Lbs. Now wrap the lower 4-6
inches of the column tube to protect the sur-
face finish of the column when completing
the installation. Next, slide and tape the floor
mount clamp to column. Make sure the clamp
is up and out of the way. (Figure 8)
Since the firewall mount is welded to the
OEM column, we have included a new floor
mount and gasket for this application. Install
the new gasket and mount onto the firewall
with the original bolts loosely. (Figure 9)
Slide the new column through the fire-
wall mount and into the intermediate
shaft joint. A helper is highly recom-
mended here to assist with the joint.
Then loosely install the two bolts that
hold the column to the dash. (Figure
10)
Make sure the gasket is aligned properly and
tighten the floor mount to the floor.
Now tighten the two dash bolts to 42 FT. LBS.
Next tighten the clamp on the floor mount to the
column. This sequence allows the column and
its mounts to secure with no miss-alignment.
(Figure 11)
Finally, secure the joint onto the column with the original hard-
ware.
