Re: [DML] Steering Column Bushing shortcut

[DANIEL SHANE <daniel.shane@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Cain,

I did mine last friday and it only took a few hours to
do properly.

Remove both knee pads on the drivers side, undo the
upper knuckle and remove it's bolt, remove the two 17
mm bolts holding the column and unplug the 3
connectors from the switch gear.

Then you can remove the complete column, replace the
bush and re-fit.  Easier to refit if there are 2
people doing it as getting the splines on the column
to fit into the knuckle can be very tricky on your
own.

I can highly recommend DMUK's replacement lower bush
as is not made from polyurethane like the original. 
Is a much tougher material.
