SERVICE MANUAL UPDATE - SECTION 9

When removing the steering wheel using only the specified steering wheel puller, J 1859-03 do not allow the puller mounting bolts to contact the coil assembly. Damage to the coil assembly may result if the bolts contact the coil housing. When reinstalling the coil after servicing, be sure that constant pressure remains on the coil wire and that all the slack is removed from the lower coil wire. If the slack in the wire isn't removed, the lock plate could come in contact with the wire, damaging it.
