Begin intermediate steering shaft bearing replacement by positioning the vehicle with straight wheels while locking the
Steering Column because this prevents sir coil assembly damage. Harmful procedures start with the installation of Steering Column anti-rotation pin (J 42640) through the Steering Column lower access hole. After removing the lower intermediate shaft, workers should disconnect
Power Steering Reservoir mounting nuts before moving the reservoir to avoid the workspace. Before moving on to the next step replace the
Cruise Control Module's mounting nuts before placing the module off to the side. Open the intermediate shaft seal at the cowl mounting screws, allow the seal to drop while removing the upper intermediate shaft to intermediate shaft bearing retaining bolt. Begin by removing the retaining nuts from the intermediate shaft bearing bracket then detach the intermediate shaft lower brace retaining nut. Detach the intermediate shaft bearing at its studs on the cowl before disconnecting it from the upper intermediate shaft and completing removal of both the bearing and seal. Begin your installation process by attaching the intermediate shaft seal followed by connecting the intermediate shaft bearing to both the upper intermediate shaft and cowl studs. After placing the lower brace retaining nut, apply torque of 30 nm (22 ft. Lbs.) before tightening the intermediate shaft bearing bracket retaining nuts to 30 nm (22 ft. Lbs.). Tighten the retaining bolt connecting the upper intermediate shaft to the intermediate shaft bearing to 30 nm (22 ft. Lbs.) before screwing in the intermediate shaft seal upper retaining screws and securing them to 2 nm (18 inch lbs.). Thread the Cruise Control Module mounting nuts before applying 5 nm (44 inch lbs.) torque. Next position the Power Steering Reservoir in its seat then install its mounting nuts tightened to 6.5 nm (58 inch lbs.). Install the lower intermediate shaft before removing the Steering Column anti-rotation pin (J 42640) through the Steering Column lower access hole.
