Figure 29: Upper steering column
clamp
The two parts of the steering column are
clamped together using the locking clamp,
make sure the cut out faces the column,
refer to Fig 29. Insert the grub screw
loosely into the clamp. Secure the two
halves of the clamp using two bolts (2),
plain washers (10) and spring washers
(11). Torque to 14 Nm. Tighten the grub
screw with an Allen key to eliminate any
free play in the steering. Lock the grub
screw into place using locknut (6).
NOTE
Before tightening the clamp:
Fit the steering wheel boss onto its spline
to ensure that the steering wheel boss
does not foul the dashboard. Slide the
steering column/steering wheel boss away
from the dashboard to achieve clearance.
Check that the lower steering column
does not foul the drive belt tension
mechanism on the engine. If necessary
rotate the steering rack in its clamps to
provide clearance.
Tighten the steering rack clamps
to 11 Nm. Ensure that the two bolts
securing the steering column lock tube to
the scuttle face are tight.
