1.6. Use a pair of 1/2” wrenches to loosen the bolts
flanking the instrument panel on the inside of the
dash panel. The mounting holes in the dash
panel are slotted, so the bolts need not be com-
pletely removed.
1.7. There are tabs on the perimeter of the steering
wheel cover that clip into each spoke of the
steering wheel. Depress these tabs and pry off
the cover. See Figure 1.7.
1.8. The nut and belleville washer that secure the
steering wheel can be removed using a 1/2”
wrench.
1.9. Remove the steering wheel. It may be neces-
sary to drive the steering wheel off of the splined
steering shaft using a soft dead-blow hammer.
1.10. The bottom lip of the steering shaft boot can be
easily separated from the dash panel.
1.11. There is a shoulder bushing and flat washer on
the steering shaft. They provide support for the
steering shaft boot, and reduce friction between
it and the steering shaft. Remove them.
See Figure 1.11.
1.12. Remove the side panels from the engine com-
partment.
1.13. Disconnect the throttle cable from the injector
pump on diesel powered tractors. On Caterpillar
engines, the cable is connected to the pump with
a hairpin clip and clevis pin. Use a 5/16” wrench
and a 3/8” wrench to loosen the cable clamp.
See Figure 1.13.
