Steering Column: Reassembly

  1. Install horn ground ring, serrated bushing and thrust ring in steering column. Flat sides of thrust ring should be aligned with slots in steering column.
  2. Grease top end of steering shaft and carefully insert in column. Be careful not to bend horn ground ring. Fill bottom of column with grease and install plastic hanger bushing.
  3. Align tab in column with cut-away in bushing. On Accord models with power steering, install snap ring, washer, spring and washer before installing plastic hanger bushing.
  4. On all models, install plastic collar to bottom of column, align round projection on inside of collar with hole in column. On Accord models with power steering, install rubber stop. On Civic and Prelude models, install snap ring to top end of steering shaft.
  5. On Accord models, attach connector shaft universal joint to steering shaft so clamp bolt rests at bottom of machined flat of steering shaft. Tighten clamp bolt.
    NOTE: On Accord models, place ignition switch in the "O" position to prevent shaft from sliding out during installation.
