Part 3

16. Remove the tilt motor as shown in Figure 25 and 26:

a. Push up on the steering wheel.

b. Remove the tilt motor.

c. Disconnect the electrical connector.

d. Cut the tie-wrap.

Install New Tilt and Telescope Motors





17. Apply a moderate amount of "TILT" grease to the spines on the tilt motor shaft as shown.

^ Do not use the entire tube of grease. Use only the amount needed.

^ The "TILT" grease is included in the Motor Assy - Tilt kit (see Parts Information).

18. Connect the electrical connector to the new tilt motor.

19. Install the new tilt motor as follows:

a. Push up on the steering wheel.

b. Put the motor in mounting position.





c. Line up the tilt motor spines with the center shaft / sleeve as shown in Figure 27.





d. Lower the steering wheel; the center shaft / sleeve must be flush with the tilt motor.





20. Install several threads but Dont Tighten the tilt motor pinch bolt.

^ Make sure the bolt is through the hole in the harness bracket.

^ Pinch bolt final torque will be done later.





21. Hold the steering wheel and move it up or down (just a little) as needed to get the center support bearing centered (see Figure 30).





22. With the bearing centered, use the tilt motor switch to run the tilt motor so the bearing is pulled down towards the tilt motor.

^ The shaft should turn clockwise to pull the bearing down.

^ The bearing needs to move down only about 1/2 inch.

^ When its in the bore correctly, it will stay centered when the steering wheel is released.

^ You may need to operate the tilt motor up and down (back and forth) a couple of times as you slightly move the steering wheel up and down.

NOTE:
The following may be needed only if the tilt motor is operated too far in the up direction.

^ If the tilt motor makes a retching noise and the bearing does not turn, pull down hard on the steering wheel while operating the tilt motor in the down direction.

^ This should engage the tilt motor spines with the shaft, the bearing should then turn.





23. Install the center support retaining nut (see Figure 31).

^ The retaining nut will press the bearing all the way into its bore.

^ The top of the nut should be flush with the machined surface of the steering column assembly.

^ Torque specification: 15 Nm (1.52 kg-m, 11 ft-lb, 132 in-lb).

NOTE:
If the center support retaining nut is not flush as shown above remove the nut and perform step 21 again.
