#### OVERHAUL

##### Non-Tilt Type Column

Use the following service procedure as guide for this repair _ refer to the exploded view illustrations if necessary. Modify the service steps for steering column repairs if complete overhaul is not necessary.

2. Remove the snap-ring, and then separate each component. Do not reuse snap-ring once it has be removed.
3. Assemble the steering column, observing the following:
   1. Aply a coat of grease to column bearing and lower bushing.
   2. Make sure that undue stress is not applied to column shaft in axial direction.
   3. Ensure that rounded surface of the snap-ring faces toward bearing when snap-ring is installed.

##### Tilt Type Column

Use the following service procedure as guide for this repair _ refer to the exploded view illustrations if necessary. Modify the service steps for steering column repairs if complete overhaul is not necessary.

6. To disassemble the upper steering jacket tube assembly remove snap-ring then separate each part. Be careful that the column spring does not spring out.
7. To assemble the upper jacket tube assembly:
   1. Place the spring washer and spring seat to upper column shaft and then insert upper column shaft to upper jacket tube. Apply a coat of grease to the bearings.
   2. Set spring seat and washer and then install snap-ring.
8. To assemble the lower jacket tube assembly:
   1. Fit lower bushing to lower jacket tube perfectly.
   2. Apply a coat of grease to column bearing and lower bushing.
   3. Insert lower column shaft into lower jacket tube, then install wave washer, washer and snap-ring. Ensure that the snap-ring is positioned with its round surface facing toward the bearing. Make sure that undue stress is not applied to column shaft in axial direction.
