>> A << Steering Column Shaft Assembly Installation
CAUTION:
- If reusing the steering column, do not release the tilt lever until the steering column shaft has been installed.
- If a new steering column is being installed, do not release the tilt lever until it has been installed. Do not remove the tilt lever fixing band until the installation is completed.
- When installing the steering column, do not leave it fixed temporarily at only one point and make sure the column shaft is not shaken strongly. If this happens, the collision absorbing mechanism at the column shaft mounting location may be damaged.
Ensure that the tilt lever is in the lock position, and install the steering column. Tighten the four bolts finger-tight in the order shown, and then tighten them to the specified torque in the order shown.
Tightening torque: 12 +/- 2 N.m (102 +/- 22 in-lb)
