We mark the relative position of the steering shaft and the steering wheel hub with a felt-tip pen in order to set the steering wheel to its previous position during assembly.

The steering wheel nut must be screwed back onto the shaft in order to avoid injury when the wheel is suddenly disconnected from the steering shaft.

Unscrew the nut completely only after you move the wheel out of place.

With a sharp blow of the hands along the axis of the steering shaft, we knock the steering wheel off the splines of the shaft shank.
