Steering Column Tilt Mechanism
PROCEDURE
1. Install the universal joint onto the steering gear pinion shaft.
If the steering column is equipped with a tilt mechanism, observe the following conditions.
Failure to observe these conditions may deform the tilt bracket, which may damage the tilt lever and the lever lock.

2. Before installation, check that the bracket has a hole for the stopper pin.
1) If so, secure the tilt lever in the neutral position, insert the stopper pin into the hole, and then disengage the tilt lever.

2) Otherwise, secure the tilt lever near the neutral position.

3. Screw in the bolt securing the U-shaped element of the universal joint to the steering shaft.
Tightening torque: 15–20 N•m

4. Temporarily install the two mounting bolts.
5. Install the two mounting nuts.
Tightening torque: 13–18 N•m
6. Tighten the two mounting bolts to the specified torque.

7. If the stopper pin is installed, move the steering column to the lowest position.
