J 42640 Steering Column Anti-Rotation Pin
Notice: The wheels of the vehicle must be straight ahead and the steering column in the LOCK position before disconnecting the steering column or intermediate shaft from the steering gear. Failure to do so will cause the SIR coil assembly to become uncentered, which may cause damage to the coil assembly.
Important: Mark the relationship of the intermediate shaft components in order to assure proper installation.
• | Mark the relationship of the bolt and clamp at both ends of the upper intermediate shaft. |
• | Mark the relationship of the upper intermediate shaft to the lower intermediate shaft. |
Important: If you are installing the same shaft, align the marks and the relationship of the bolt and clamp made during the removal procedure.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
