ASSEMBLY
WARNING: USE ONLY THE ORIGINAL OR EXACT
REPLACEMENT SCREWS, BOLTS AND NUTS TO
ASSEMBLE THE STEERING COLUMN. INCORRECT
SCREW OR BOLT LENGTH COULD PREVENT THE
COLUMN FROM COMPRESSING WITH IMPACT
(FRONT-END COLLISION). ALL FASTENERS USED
FOR ASSEMBLY MUST BE TIGHTENED WITH THE
CORRECT TORQUE. THIS WILL ENSURE THE COL-
UMN WILL BREAKAWAY WITH IMPACT.
CAUTION: Apply chassis lubricant to all the bear-
ing, thrust and friction producing mating surfaces
before assembly.
(1) Install the shift bowl on the steering column
jacket.
(2) Install the shift tube spring, wave washer and
retainer plate in the shift bowl.
(3) Insert the shift tube through the lower end of
the steering column jacket. Align the tube key/spline
with the shift bowl keyway.
(4) Insert the Shift Tube Installer C-4119 in the
shift tube. The spring-loaded lower foot of the toolmust engage the shift tube inner shoulder. The tool
guide must be seated in the shift tube (Fig. 21).
(5) Tighten the nut on the stud (Fig. 21) only
enough to obtain a snug fit against the spring ten-
sion.
(6) Remove the nut and place the receiver installa-
tion tool over the stud (Fig. 22).
(7) Install the nut and tighten it to force the shift
tube into the shift bowl (Fig. 22).
(8) Remove the shift tube installation tools.

(13) Install all support attaching screws finger-
tight. Next, tighten the screws alternately and evenly
to7Nzm (60 in. lbs.) torque.
(14) Install the remote rod in the support. Route
the rod through the upper end of the shroud and in-
sert it into the rod slot located in the support.
(15) Install the dimmer switch and ignition switch.
(16) Install the steering shaft in the steering col-
umn.
(17) Install replacement races and bearings in the
key/lock cylinder, if removed.Ensure that the bear-
ings are lubricated with chassis lubricant be-
fore installation.
(18) Install the lock shoes, the lock shoe springs
and the lock shoe pin the key/lock cylinder housing.
Use a 4.5-mm (0.18-in) diameter rod to align the
shoes and the pin during installation.
(19) Install the tilt-release lever, the lever spring
and the lever pin in the key/lock cylinder housing.
Insert a wedge between the housing and the lever to
relieve the spring tension. This will allow easier re-
lease lever pin installation.
(20) Install the lock bolt in the key/lock cylinder
housing and engage it in the lock sector cam surface.
(21) Install the lock rack, the rack preload spring
and a replacement shim in the key/lock cylinder
housing. Align and mate the square block tooth on
the lock rack and the lock sector.
(22) Install the lock spring and the spring retain-
ing screw. Tighten the screw to 4 Nzm (35 in. lbs.)
torque.
(23) Align and install the assembled key/lock cylin-
der housing on the support. Retain the lock shoes in
the disengaged position for easier housing installa-
tion.
(24) Align the pivot pin holes in the housing with
those in the support. Insert the pivot pins.Press the
housing firmly downward when inserting the
pivot pins. This prevents damaging the holes in
the support.When the pivot pins are within both
the housing and the support holes, seat them fully
with a punch and a hammer.
(25) Insert tilt-release lever in key/lock cylinder
housing and place housing in the full-upward tilt po-
sition.

the key/lock cylinder housing. Install the guide re-tainer over the spring. Engage the retainer lock tabs
with the housing lugs by pressing the retainer down-
ward and turning clockwise with a screwdriver.
(28) Place the cover on the key/lock cylinder hous-
ing. Align and install the cover retaining screws.
Tighten the screws to 7 Nzm (60 in. lbs.) torque.
(29) Install the gear selector indicator lamp mount-
ing bracket screw.
(30) Install the gear selector indicator cover and
retaining screws.
(31) Route the dimmer switch wire harness and
gear selector indicator down through the steering col-
umn.
(32) To install ignition switch lock, turn the key to
the LOCK position and remove the key. This will
cause the buzzer operating lever to retract in the
key/lock cylinder. Now insert the key/lock cylinder
into the housing far enough to contact the drive
shaft. Force it inward and move the ignition switch
actuator rod up and down to align the components.
When the components align, the key/lock cylinder
will move inward and the spring-loaded retainer will
snap and lock it in place (Fig. 23).
(33) Insert the ignition key in the cylinder and
turn it to the ON position. Install the key warning
buzzer switch.
(34) Install the turn signal switch. Fold the wires
against the connector. Route the wire harness and
connector down through the steering column. Posi-
tion the switch in the key/lock cylinder housing.Do
notinstall the switch retaining screws at this time.
(35) Install the windshield wiper wire harness and
switch. Route the wire harness down through steer-
ing column jacket.
