REMOU NT I NG
Perform the dismounting operations in the reverse order, taking into consideration the follow-
ing recommendations:
-ensure that steering is at middle point (wheels are in a direct line);
- mounting of the lower part dashboard is to be performed by guiding it on a centering part
placed on the driving post cross beam; -steering wheel must freely enter in grooves;
- check the operation of the dashboard instruments and switches.
AT T E N T I O N :
After each steering wheel dismounting, its attachment screw is to be replaced, ob-
s erving the required tightening moment of 4.4 daNm.
