Tie rod and drag link	Disassemble and assemble on pitman arm (46-6177, 46-7007).
Support (031) and torque wrench (060)	Fix to steering wheel, remove
Friction torque of steering gear	Determine by slowly turning the steering wheel from lock to lock several times
Friction torque of steering gear	Adjust, by slackening lock nut (50) and turning adjusting screw (45) 1/4 turn in stages direction a = less play = increased friction torque direction b = more play = reduced friction torque Tighten lock nut (50), 60 Nm.
Friction torque of steering gear	Check again after tightening the lock nut (50) and repeat adjustment, if necessary.
