    IMPORTANT: When reusing the sensor (1) you must install a pin into the sensor before it is removed from the steering shaft. By not installing a pin into the sensor it will cause the sensor to lose its centering position and must be discarded.
    Pin diameter must be in the range of 1-2 mm.
    Do not remove the bearing adapter (3).
  6. If reusing the sensor (1), remove the position sensor by pulling the sensor straight out from the bearing adapter (3) until the sensor is almost off the steering shaft (2). Install a pin into the sensor before removing from the steering shaft (2). Do not remove the pin until the sensor is re-installed.
  7. If replacing the sensor (1), remove the sensor by pulling the sensor straight out from the bearing adapter (3) and off the steering shaft.
