Removing 

  1. Check whether the upper steering shaft has moved in to its full extent or is in the center position.
  1. 2.1 If necessary, move upper steering shaft to the center position if the longitudinal adjustment forward/back motor is still ready for operation. To do this make an electrical connection between the longitudinal adjustment forward/back motor connector (M20x1) and a vehicle battery. Connect green cable from (M20x1) to ( ) and black cable from (M20x1) to ( ). The poles should be swapped round in order to change the direction of rotation of the motor.

    NOTES

    If the slide has been detached, the upper steering shaft (70g) must only be hammered out a maximum of 70 mm.

    If it is hammered out further the thrust piece may fall inside the jacket tube and damage the surface (scores). The jacket tube (71) and upper steering shaft (70g) then have to be replaced.

  5. Unscrew and remove longitudinal adjustment forward/back motor (M20m1).
