    How to replace the Upper Steering Column Bearing in a manual tilt, column shift on Cadillac DTS? Posted by Customer
    A:
    A manual tilt, column shift vehicle requires disabling the sir coil before upper bearing steering shaft replacement. Uninstall the Steering Wheel off the column before moving onto the column extraction from the vehicle. The next stage removes the Steering Wheel theft deterrent lock assembly along with the wire harness assembly and turn signal and multifunction switch assembly. Pull out the tilt spring and the linear shift assembly along with the a/t shift lock control assembly and shift lever. Steering shaft position sensors require boot seal , steering shaft seal , sensor retainer , steering wheel position sensor and retaining ring removal to perform repair work. Start by eliminating the boot seal and steering shaft seal and sensor retainer and retaining ring and seal from the Steering Column support assembly. Install the j 21854-01 pivot pin remover tool to extract the two pivot pins from inside the Steering Column support assembly. Delink the tilt head assembly from the Steering Column support assembly yet maintain the steering shaft attachment before removing the assembly from the steering shaft assembly . The last step involves removing the bearing assembly from the tilt head assembly. Place the bearing assembly inside the tilt head assembly followed by installation of the steering shaft assembly into the tilt head assembly. Proceed by mounting the Steering Column tilt head assembly and the steering shaft assembly inside the Steering Column support assembly. Apply gm p/n 12346293 (Canadian P/N 992723) lubrication to 3 stake points on the pivot pins before installing both pins onto the Steering Column support assembly. Position sensors require the installation of retaining rings alongside Steering Wheel sensors and sensor retainers followed by steering shaft seals and boot seals. The installation process begins with seal application followed by retaining ring addition then sensor retainer placement then steering shaft seal placement and ending with boot seal application. When no sensor is present these same parts should be installed. Start by installing the linear shift assembly and a/t shift lock control assembly followed by the switch lever before setting the tilt spring as your next step. Complete the installation with the turn signal and multifunction switch assembly and wire harness assembly and tilt spring. Reinstall the Steering Wheel theft deterrent lock assembly first followed by reinstallation of the Steering Column and the Steering Wheel onto the column before enabling the sir system.

    Before you replace the intermediate steering shaft bearing keep the vehicle's wheels straight with the Steering Column in lock mode to protect the sir coil assembly from harm. First insert the Steering Column anti-rotation pin (J 42640) into the lower access hole of the Steering Column. You must first remove the lower intermediate shaft before you detach the Power Steering Reservoir mounting hardware and set the reservoir to one side. Taking out the Cruise Control Module mounting nuts is the next step before putting the module to the side when present. First remove the charged air cooler so you can take out the screws meant to attach the intermediate shaft seal. After pulling the intermediate shaft seal down you can remove the upper intermediate shaft to intermediate shaft bearing retaining bolt. Disassemble the assembly by taking out the three intermediate shaft bearing bracket retaining nuts along with the intermediate shaft lower brace retaining nut. Remove the intermediate shaft bearing by breaking it free from its cowl studs then unlinking it from the upper intermediate shaft before both components are removed. Start the installation by installing the intermediate shaft seal afterward attach the intermediate shaft bearing to the upper intermediate shaft and the studs on the cowl. Begin by installing the intermediate shaft bearing lower brace retaining nut with 30 nm (22 lb ft) torque setting and continue by tightening the intermediate shaft bearing bracket retaining nuts to 30 nm (22 lb ft). Tighten the intermediate shaft bearing retaining bolt to 30 nm (22 lb ft) while keeping the upper intermediate shaft in position then use 2 nm (18 lb in) torque when securing its seal upper retaining screws. The installation process requires reinstallation of the charged air cooler then returning the Cruise Control Module to its position before tightening all mounting nuts to 5 nm (44 lb in). To complete the installation sequence position the Power Steering Reservoir before tightening its mounting nuts to 11 nm (97 lb in). Then add the lower intermediate shaft and extract the Steering Column anti-rotation pin (J 42640) from the Steering Column lower access hole.

    A:
    The first step for intermediate steering shaft bearing replacement demands that you secure the Steering Wheel in a straight-ahead position through use of the Steering Column anti-rotation pin (J 42640), steering column lock or a strap to stop wheel rotation since this helps maintain sir system safety. The Steering Wheel should be secured before separation of the Steering Column and intermediate shaft(s) and steering gear while maintaining static wheel position along with immobile front tires. Use the j 42640 to access the lower part of the Steering Column before removing the lower intermediate shaft from its bearing position. Start by removing Power Steering Reservoir mounting nuts and placing it off to the side. If your vehicle has a Cruise Control Module you must also remove the mounting nuts before continuing. First remove the intermediate shaft seal to the cowl mounting screws before pulling down the intermediate shaft seal to take out the upper intermediate shaft to intermediate shaft bearing retaining bolt. First unfasten the intermediate shaft bearing bracket retaining nuts before removing the intermediate shaft lower brace retaining nut and extracting the shaft bearing from its cowl studs where it connects to the upper intermediate shaft. Take out both the intermediate shaft bearing and the intermediate shaft seal unit. To install this component begin with the intermediate shaft seal before connecting the intermediate shaft bearing to both the upper intermediate shaft and the studs on the cowl. The intermediate shaft bearing lower brace retaining nut should be tightened to 30 nm (22 lb ft) followed by tightening the intermediate shaft bearing bracket retaining nuts and the upper intermediate shaft to the intermediate shaft bearing retaining bolt to 30 nm (22 lb ft). Install the intermediate shaft seal upper retaining screws and tighten all fasteners to 2 nm torque (18 lb in force). First tighten the intermediate shaft bearing lower brace retaining nut to 30 nm (22 lb ft), and then reuse the Power Steering Reservoir by installing its mounting nuts and tightening them to 11 nm (97 lb in). Finally, reposition the Cruise Control Module and install its mounting nuts which require a torque of 5 nm (44 lb in). Use the intermediate steering shaft bearing to join the lower intermediate shaft before removing the j 42640 from the Steering Column's lower access hole.

    How to replace the Upper Steering Column Bearing on GMC Sierra 1500? Posted by Customer
    A:
    Steering shaft upper bearing replacement starts with Steering Column removal. First, remove the inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil from the assembly followed by the turn signal multifunction switch and the ignition lock cylinder case. First remove the tilt spring along with the automatic transmission control. By using the compressor (J 23653-SIR) together with adapter (J 42137) extract the Steering Shaft lock plate retaining ring which needs disposal. Separate the Steering Column shaft assembly by removing these components: turn signal switch cancel cam position plate , turn signal switch cancel cam , steering shaft upper bearing spring , steering shaft upper bearing inner race seat , and Steering Shaft upper bearing inner race . Use the pivot pin remover (J 21854-01) to remove two pivot pins found in the Steering Column tilt head assembly. The tilt lever goes into the Steering Column tilt head assembly as you pull the tilt lever back then lower and remove the Steering Column tilt head assembly from the Steering Column. Pull out both components of the anti-rotation pin (J 42640) and tilt lever followed by removal of the Steering Shaft upper bearing from the Steering Column tilt head assembly. First install the Steering Shaft upper bearing inside the Steering Column tilt head assembly followed by installation of the Steering Column shaft assembly. Lowly thrust the Steering Column tilt head assembly against the Steering Column to activate steering wheel lock shoes. Each pivot pin must receive gm p/n 12346293 (Canadian P/N 992723) lubrication before the Steering Column tilt head assembly receives both pivot pins which should be firmly positioned and staked in three points surrounding each pivot pin. Place the anti-rotation pin (J 42640) with these accompanying parts onto the Steering Column shaft assembly: apply gm p/n12345718 lubricant (Canadian P/N 10953516) to the inner race of the Steering Shaft upper bearing before installation of the inner race seat and spring. Install the Turn Signal Switch cancel cam and its position plate after applying gm p/n 12377900 (Canadian P/N 10953529) lubrication. Use the compressor (J 23653-SIR) with adapter (J 42137) to install the new Steering Shaft lock plate retaining ring onto the Steering Shaft before installing other components such as automatic transmission control assembly and tilt spring and ignition lock cylinder case and turn signal multifunction switch and inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil and Steering Column.
