shaft until the coupling reinforcement
bottoms against the end of the worm.
2. Install the special bolt into the split clamp and
torque to specifications.
NOTE: The bolt must pass through the shaft
undercut.
3. Place the steering gear into position, guiding the
flexible coupling bolts into the proper holes in the
steering shaft flange.
4. Install and tighten the steering gear to frame bolts.
5. Install the coupling to flange bolt nuts and washers
and torque to specifications. Be sure to maintain a
coupling to flange dimension of .250" to .375". The
coupling alignment pins should be centered in the
flange slots.

2. Remove bearing blocks and tension spring from
pivot pin.
3. Clean grease off pin and end of shaft. Scribe
location mark on pin on same side as chamfer in
shaft.
4. Supporting shaft assembly securely, with chamfer
up, press pin out of shaft with arbor press.
CAUTIO N:
Do not drive pin out with hammer.
This will cause sticky or binding bearings when
reassembled.
5. Remove seal clamp and slide seal off end of shaft.
Assembly
1. Be sure all parts are free of dirt. Slide seal onto
steering shaft. With lip of seal against step in shaft
clamp seal.
2. Press pin back into shaft from chamfered side.
Locate pin in shaft using scribe mark as reference.
CAUTIO N:
Pin must be centered within .012
in. or binding in the coupling will result.
3. Check centering of pin (fig. 45).
a. Place just enough 3/8” flat washers on pin to
prevent bearing block from bottoming when
installed.
b. Measure distance from end of pin to top of
bearing with micrometer.
c. Remove bearing and washers and place same
bearing and washers on other end of pin.
Measure distance from end of pin to top of
bearing. If micrometer readings in Steps b and c
differ more than .012, repeat last part of Step 2
and recheck.
4. Apply a liberal amount of wheel bearing grease to
inside and outside of bearing blocks and inside of
cover.
5. Position tension spring and bearing blocks on pin.
6. Slide cover over bearing blocks aligning reference
mark on cover with mark on shaft. Install seal into
