Mazda CX-5 Service & Repair Manual: Intermediate Shaft Removal/Installation
WARNING:
-
The steering column (EPS motor) temperature increases directly after continuous turning of the steering mechanism which could cause burns if it is touched. Before performing any servicing, verify that the steering column has cooled off.
1. Rotate the steering wheel until the joint bolt is in a position in which it can be removed.
CAUTION:
-
Secure the steering wheel using tape or a cable to prevent the steering shaft from rotating after disconnecting the intermediate shaft. If the steering wheel rotates after the steering shaft and the steering gear and linkage are disconnected, the internal parts of the clock spring could be damaged.
2. Lock the adjusting lever.
3. Remove in the order indicated in the table.
4. Install in the reverse order of removal.
