This service manual page covers removal and installation of the steering wheel, steering lock, and steering lower joint. For the steering wheel, it instructs removal using special tool ST27180001 (J25726-A), installation on the column shaft in a straight-ahead position aligned with a punch mark (arrow pointing upward), and a post-installation check that the wheel turns smoothly with equal numbers of turns from straight-ahead to left and right locks. For the steering lock, it explains breaking the self-shear type screws with a drill or other appropriate tool for removal, then installing new self-shear type screws and cutting off their heads to secure the lock. For the steering lower joint, it advises removing the hole cover if necessary, ensuring the tightening bolt faces the cutout portion of the shaft perfectly when fitting, and verifying that the slit position of the lower joint aligns with the steering gear cap or spacer mark. Five illustrations (figure references SST068, SST070, SST073, SST074, SST840, SST841) show the puller tool on the wheel, column shaft punch mark, self-shear screws on the lock housing, cutting the screw head, the cutout/lower joint fit, and the slit/mark alignment.
