Part of 1978-1979 Ford Bronco Exploded Parts Diagrams
This is page 13-06-7 of a Ford factory shop manual section titled 'Steering Column: Shift Rod Within Tube.' The upper half contains Fig. 6, an exploded/installation diagram of the steering column for E-100 through E-350 Econoline models, with labeled callouts including the safety pins, steering shaft flange, flex coupling, coupling-to-gear attaching bolt, worm (input) shaft, brake support bracket, turn signal lever, steering column assembly, column upper bracket, cover plate and seal assembly, lower clamp, hand shift lever, retaining pin, and steering gear assembly. Detail views (arrows X, Y, Z) show the lower shift lever configurations for automatic and manual transmissions. The lower half provides step-by-step Disassembly and Assembly procedures for a non-tilt steering column with automatic transmission: nine disassembly steps (removing the steering wheel, hand shift lever retaining pin, turn signal unit, snap ring, upper/lower flanges, bearing, shift tube, spring, wave washer, and shift fork) and ten assembly steps in reverse order, including aligning the shift tube tab with the shift fork notch and seating the bearing into the upper flange with a socket. A reader can identify column components by name and follow the full column overhaul procedure.

- Remove the three screws attaching the turn signal unit to the upper flange, remove the screw attaching the transmission indicator light and remove the light, then remove the turn signal assembly and wiring harness.
- How is the bearing installed in the upper flange during assembly?
- Place a socket on the outside diameter of the bearing and gently tap the bearing into the upper flange.
