    • The wheels on the vehicle are straight ahead.
    • The block tooth (1) of the steering shaft assembly is in the 12 o'clock position.
    • The ignition switch assembly is in the LOCK position.

  6. While maintaining the coil hub in the CENTER position, align the centered coil with the horn tower and slide the coil onto the steering shaft assembly.
