Pull out adjustable steering column all the way. | |||
Make sure that lines are routed correctly. | |||
The cable ties must be fixed in the cutouts (99b) on the side of the steering column tube cover (99). | |||
26 | Remove steering column tube covering (99) | ||
27 | Take out steering column tube (71) with the lower steering shaft (80a) upwards | Do not use force, as the lower steering shaft (80a) is sensitive to forces applied from the side. | |
The rubber boot remains in the firewall. | |||
Installation: The turn signal lug (a) on the steering column must point to the left (arrow). | |||
