Question 1

How to replace the Steering Column Seal on the intermediate shaft on Buick LeSabre?

Accepted Answer

Begin by applying the lock position to your Steering Column and ensuring your vehicle's wheels face straight ahead before you start to prevent sir coil assembly damage. Insert the j 42640 (J 42640) into the Steering Column access hole to create a lock before pointing the Steering Wheel directly forward. Successively remove the vehicle's air cleaner assembly before extracting the intermediate shaft pinch bolt to detach the intermediate Steering Shaft from the steering gear. The intermediate Steering Shaft seal bolts must be discarded before extracting the intermediate Steering Shaft seal outside of the vehicle. Install the new intermediate shaft seal to the Steering Column base while matching its holes to floor pan positions before securing the intermediary shaft seal bolts at 3 nm (27 inch lbs.). Insert the intermediate shaft pinch bolt before torquing it to 47 nm (35 ft. Lbs.) while checking that the lower seal section faces the steering gear. After installation reopen the air cleaner compartment and pull out tool j 42640 (J 42640) from the Steering Column access hole before checking steering movement to ensure no binding occurs between the intermediate Steering Shaft and the intermediate Steering Shaft seal.

Question 2

How to replace the intermediate steering column seal on Buick LaCrosse?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

How to Address Issues with the Steering Column Seal on Buick Rendezvous?

Accepted Answer

Start the replacement process of intermediate steering shaft seals by turning off the ignition and removing the key to secure the Steering Column. Start by taking out both the left closeout panel and the intermediate shaft seal from its connection point to the Steering Column. Start by disconnecting the intermediate shaft from the Steering Column after removing the intermediate shaft to Steering Column pinch bolt. Collapse the intermediate shaft to make space and cut three 1-inch holes in the insulated area surrounding the seal bolts for easier access. Use a tool to extract intermediate shaft seal bolts without moving the intermediate shaft out of the vehicle. Then pull the intermediate shaft seal from inside the compartment. Drill three 1-inch slots into the vehicle insulation to access and extract the lower intermediate shaft seal from within. To install the intermediate shaft seal workers must first plastically deform the lower intermediate shaft seal until it fits into the upper intermediate shaft seal before seating the intermediate shaft seal onto the intermediate shaft within the vehicle interior. Fasten the intermediate shaft to the Steering Column before installing the upper intermediate shaft pinch bolt then torque all intermediate shaft seal bolts to 48 nm (35 ft. Lbs.) and torque all intermediate shaft seal bolts to 3 nm (27 inch lbs.). Secure the intermediate shaft seal to the Steering Column while rotating the lower seal to achieve correct shaft to seal clearance and attach the left closeout panel. Fulfill the following sequential procedure: raise the vehicle, install the lower intermediate shaft seal to the steering gear and then lower the vehicle.
