Hi,
I have something very strange.
After replacement of the bearing at the top of the steering column (#14)
(this to solve the backlash)
I noticed that I can't place the Steering column Lock nut anymore.
It is only possible when I don't place the split collet pair.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Does anyone have an idea of the root cause?
Thanks,
Harrie

Re: steering column lock nut
Mistery is solved.
It was my own mistake. The split collets pair should be placed after assembling of the steering column nut.
Lesson learned: Always make more pictures than needed
