do not impart shock loads to the steering
column during removing and refitting the
steering wheel or at any time.

splines and remove the previously applied
adhesive tape to the spiral cassette.Ensure the two drive pegs on the upper part
of the cassette align with their respective
location holes on the underside of the
steering wheel, ease the wheel onto the pegs.
