How to service and repair the Steering Shaft on Ford Thunderbird?

The procedure for servicing and repairing the steering column shaft starts with depowering the supplemental restraint system (SRS). Place the vehicle in neutral position before positioning it on a hoist for removal of the intermediate shaft slider bolt which requires a final torque of 35 Nm (26 ft. lbs.). Use a new bolt to attach the steering column to intermediate shaft position after discarding the old hardware and apply torque at 30 Nm (22 ft. lbs.). For the installation use a new intermediate shaft-to-steering gear bolt while discarding the old piece and torque it to 35 Nm (26 ft. lbs.). Fitting new intermediate shaft bearing plate nuts requires the removal of previous components along with nuts and plate before torquing new nuts to 9 Nm (80 inch lbs.). Complete the removal procedure by disassembling the intermediate shaft then reinstall it while avoiding any motion of the steering column shaft to prevent clock spring damage. Re-alignment of the clock spring becomes necessary when shaft rotation occurs.
