 The top shaft of steering (at not a cabriolet)  
| 
 | 
 Never turn a steering wheel at the removed top shaft of steering. If it occurs, and centering of a contact winding will be broken (on understeering switches), it is necessary to align it again. Besides, if to turn a steering wheel more, than on two and a half turns, the contact winding will break.   | 
 
 
 Removal  
| 
 | 
 
Turn a steering wheel so that forward wheels of the car looked directly forward. 
 Turn the ignition switch in the provision of "LOCK" and take out a key. 
 
| 
 | 
 Make the leveling tags (3) the coupling of a shaft (2) and on a shaft (from the top steering shaft) that then on them it is correct to establish a shaft. 
 
 | 
 
 
| 
 | 
 Having unscrewed a bolt (4) from the top party of the coupling of a shaft (2) and having weakened a bolt (5) from the lower party of a shaft, pull the coupling of a shaft (2) towards the lower shaft (as shown shooters in the drawing). 
 
 | 
 
 
| 
 | 
 Unscrew a bolt (1) and a nut (2) of the top coupling of the top steering shaft. 
 
 | 
 
 
 Unscrew fixing bolts (4 pieces) of the top steering shaft. 
 Remove the top steering shaft from the car. 
 
 | 
  
 |  
 
Survey  
 Check serviceability of a shaft of steering as below in this Chapter in the Section Check of a steering column and top shaft of steering on existence of accident damages is described (at not a cabriolet).  
Installation  
| 
 | 
 
Make sure that forward wheels and a steering wheel are in the situation corresponding to the rectilinear movement of the car. 
 
| 
 | 
 Establish the top steering shaft on an epiploon insert. Tighten fixing bolts (1) of the top steering shaft to the specified value of the moment of an inhaling. Inhaling moment: fixing bolts of the top steering shaft — (a): 23 N • m (2.3 kg-m, 17.0 pounds feet). 
 
 | 
 
 
| 
 | 
 Put on the coupling of a steering shaft (1) the top shaft (2), having combined the tags (3) put before removal of a shaft. 
 
 | 
 
 
| 
 | 
 Insert a shaft coupling bolt (the top party of a shaft) (2) into the coupling of a steering shaft (1). At first tighten a shaft coupling bolt (the top party of a shaft) (2) to the specified value of the moment of an inhaling, and then a shaft coupling bolt (the lower party of a shaft) (3) to the specified value of the moment of an inhaling. Inhaling moment: a bolt of the coupling of a steering shaft — (c): 25 N • m (2.5 kg-m, 18.0 pounds feet). 
 
 | 
 
 
| 
 | 
 Combine a point of "A" of a steering column (1) with an opening for a bolt of "B" of the top coupling of the top steering shaft. Then connect the top coupling of the top steering shaft. 
 
 | 
 
 
| 
 | 
 Take new a bolt (2) of the top coupling of the top steering shaft and a nut (1). Tighten a nut (1) of the top coupling of the top steering shaft to the specified value of the moment of an inhaling. Inhaling moment: a nut of the top coupling of the top steering shaft — (a): 23 N • m (2.3 kg-m, 17.0 pounds feet).
