The pin diameter must be in the range of 1-2 mm. A new steering wheel position sensor will come with a pin installed in the sensor. The sensor will already come centered, DO NOT remove the pin until the sensor is properly seated. During installation the steering wheel position sensor must be set with approximately 3 mm gap between the sensor and the bearing adapter.
