How to replace the intermediate steering shaft on Buick Century?

The first step for intermediate Steering Shaft replacement requires suspension and support of the vehicle. Apply the seal so you can reach the lower pinch bolt connecting the intermediate Steering Shaft to the power steering gear stub shaft. Afterward pry out the lower pinch bolt so the shaft becomes loose. The proper alignment and protection of the sir coil assembly requires that Steering Column and front wheel alignment be maintained in the lock position before disconnecting either the Steering Column or intermediate shaft. Insert the Steering Column lock pin (J42640) into the Steering Column access hole to stop the column from rotating out of position. Begin by taking out the intermediate Steering Shaft from the power steering gear stub shaft while keeping the vehicle in a lowered state. Start by removing the left instrument panel insulator then shift the seal into position to access the upper pinch bolt of the intermediate Steering Shaft before you take out the bolt. Lift out the intermediate Steering Shaft from the vehicle after disconnecting it from both the Steering Column and Steering Column. Install the intermediate Steering Shaft at the Steering Column by tightening the upper pinch bolt to 48 nm (35 ft. Lbs.). After placing the intermediate Steering Shaft seal on the Steering Column, reinstall the left instrument panel insulator. The vehicle needs to be raised again before installation of the intermediate Steering Shaft onto the power steering gear stub shaft where the upper pinch bolt gets tightened to 48 nm (35 ft. Lbs.). The power steering gear receives the intermediate Steering Shaft seal before lowering the vehicle.
