5. Measure the distance between the steering wheel rim and the top of the steering wheel-to-upper steering shaft mounting flange.

If the measurement is not 152 mm ± 2 mm (5.98 in ± 0.08 in), replace the steering wheel.




6. Turn the steering wheel over so that the steering wheel is resting on the flat surface with the rim up.
7. Using a drum-to-brake shoe clearance gauge, carefully measure the diameter of the steering wheel in three places, (1 and 3), (2 and 5), and (3 and 6), as shown.

If the measurement is not 380 mm ±  3 mm (14.96 in± 0.12 in) in all three places, replace the steering wheel.
