• Q: How to replace the intermediate steering column seal on 2007 Buick LaCrosse?

  A: In order to replace the intermediate steering shaft seal, one has to switch the ignition off and take away the key to lock the Steering Column. Pull the intermediate shaft seal from the Steering Column, then remove the intermediate shaft pinch bolt (11570329) from the intermediate shaft and disconnect the intermediate shaft from the Steering Column and writing down the alignment for re-assembly. Very gently bring down the intermediate shaft and fold it for clearance. Reduce the insulation from the inner intermediate shaft seal for the seal bolts to be visible and the intermediate shaft seal bolts (11570329) to be removed. The intermediate shaft need not be removed from the vehicle. Furthermore, extract the intermediate seal out of the vehicle. If it comes to fitting, install the intermediate shaft seal over the intermediate shaft from inside the vehicle and attach the intermediate shaft to the steering pillar as originally done while taking it out. Tighten the upper intermediate shaft pinch bolt (11570329) to 48 n.m (35 lb ft). Put on the intermediate shaft seal bolts and tighten them to the strength of 3 n.m (27 lb in). Attach the intermediate shaft seal to the Steering Column making sure to rotate the lower seal to allow shaft to seal clearance and then paste the lower intermediate seal shaft to the steering gear.
