STEERING LOWER SHAFT ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Never turn steering wheel while steering lower shaft assem-
bly is removed.
Should it have been turned and contact coil (on combina-
tion switch) have got out of its centered position, it needs
to be centered again. Also, turning steering wheel more
than about two and a half turns will break contact coil.
REMOVAL
1) Turn steering wheel so that vehicle's front tires are at straight-
ahead position.
2) Turn ignition switch to ªLOCKº position and remove key.
3) After removing bolt on column side of shaft joint and loosening
bolt on its lower shaft assembly side, move shaft joint to lower
shaft assembly side (in arrow direction in figure).
4) Remove lower shaft assembly lower joint bolt and then remove
lower shaft assembly.
5) Remove shaft joint bolt (lower shaft assembly side) from shaft
joint and then remove shaft joint from lower shaft assembly.

Do not pull wire harness or twist more than necessary
when removing rear wheel speed sensor.

Do not cause damage to surface of rear wheel speed
sensor or pole piece and do not allow dust, etc. to enter
its installation hole.
5) Check to ensure that there is clearance between rear wheel
bearing retainer and parking brake shoe lever. If no clearance
is found, loosen cable locking nut further to obtain clearance.
6) Using special tools (B) & (C) indicated below, draw out axle
shaft.
NOTE:
Use care not to pull brake back plate along with shaft.
CAUTION:
Pull out axle shaft using care so that upper and lower
brake struts and parking cable are not caught.
