on block until bearing seat (18) is fully seated in steering tube (20)
2.
Press the bearing (17) all the way into the bearing seat (18) using a steering column bearing press tool or a metal
tube approximately 6 inches (15.2 cm) long with a maximum outer diameter of 1-3/16 inches (3.3 cm) and
a minimum inside diameter of 7/8 inch (2.2 cm). Be sure the bearing is installed in the bearing seat as shown
so the wedge (16) will ride against the inner race of the bearing.

the top of the shaft. Be sure the prongs on the retaining ring face up and away from the wedge. Use a steering
column retaining ring tool to seat the retaining ring to the proper depth. Support end of tube while pressing. If you
do not have the recommended tool, use the same tube as was used in step 2 to press the retaining ring onto the
top of the shaft. The retaining ring should be pressed onto the shaft until 2 to 2-1/8 inches (5.1-5.4 cm) of the
shaft extends from the top of the bearing seat in the steering tube
