    Once you connect the intermediate shaft to the steering wheel and the steering box, put in the two bolts and then turn the steering wheel 90 degrees to expose the threaded end of the bolt under the steering wheel. Then you can use a ratchet to tighten the nut under the steering column.

    Perfectly laid out video explaining how to replace these parts! The Drive By Wire trucks will need the pedal mounting bracket removed to get the shaft out. It's just 5, 10mm headed bolts and once out of the way it makes quick work of getting the shaft out. This job was

    If you want to make this job as painless as possible, remove the driver's seat (two bolts, two nuts, one conenctor), and then remove the accelerator pedal (2 - 12MM and 3 10MM, one connector). This gives you all the room you need to remove the old steering column bearing and install a new one. Lay a blanket down over where the seat goes for extra comfort.

    I fixed my rattling noise with a zip tie. I have the original white plastic part. It was rattling inside the metal tube so I zip tied it to the bracket right next to it. The constant tension stopped the noise!

    Best video on replacing these parts. I just changed my steering wheel bearing and the shaft. Everything went in like butter. For the steering wheel bearing I lubed the hell out of it with silicone paste commonly used to lube o rings. Went in easy, though I still wrestled it for about 10 mins. After that was installed, I then lubed the female portion of the bottom shaft with red grease I use on my tractor and the new intermediate shaft went in even easier. II did have my front seat taken off and gas pedal unscrewed and out of the way on my 2004 Silverado 1500. This made things a whole lot easier. Overall, i spent about 20 mins not counting the time it took me to remove the front seat. Thanks for an awesome video👍🏻👍🏻

    If your working on a duramax, take the inner plastic wheel well out and it’ll expose the steering shaft from the side. The plumbing for the turbo and stuff are in the way if you try tackling it from above.

    While installing the new bearing, if you put a long bolt thru the steering shaft hole that holds the intermediate shaft in place you can pry against that and the bearing will slide right into place.

    FYI, If you align the steering wheel turned 90 from straight to begin with, so that the bolts at the upper and lower connections are accessible vertically, then hold it there firmly with your seat belt, you don't have to fuss with a wrench and can remove / replace the bolts more easily using a ratchet and socket.

    Thanks for the video. Just changed the Dorman shaft on my 2002 Tahoe. All went without any problem. I was expecting problem with inserting the new shaft into the lower shaft but with the help of my friend I managed to do that pretty easy. The only thing is that I do not have the Torque wrench, so I hand tightened it and will ask my fellow mechanic to tighten it asap. Cheers!

    Thanks for the overview. However, you made this repair more complicated than necessary. Tip: turn the wheel to where both the fasteners are easily accessed, loosen until finger tight, and then turn the wheel straight and lock in place. No need to wrestle with obstructions on initial fastener loosening. I was able to do complete repair in half hour.

  • @dicksonsf
    @dicksonsf 3 года назад +3

    Two things I feel would be helpful if you have someone to lend you a hand.
    Instead of placing the steering wheel in the centered position when removing the bolt and nut under the dash, turn the wheel 90 degrees. this lets you access the nut using a socket wrench for both removal and install. It also makes it a whole lot easier to reinstall the nut.
    Remove the three nuts that hold the upper steering shaft boot and remove the boot and the shaft through the engine compartment. This gives you easy access to the bearing assembly when attempting to reinstall it. Once you slide the assembly in as far as possible by hand, use a 18" piece of 1/2" wood doweling and a rubber hammer to tape the bearing assembly in. One person holds the dowel and does the tapping while the other holds the assembly in its correct position and moves the dowel around the housing between taps.

  • @confuse3671
    @confuse3671 3 года назад

    Just a note, the shaft you removed is actually the upgraded Borgeson (sp?). Blue bushing/bearing is the OEM. So someone did the service you did earlier and used the upgraded steering shaft but some no-name bearing. So you upgraded the bearing and downgraded the steering shaft (but the U-joint on the steering shaft looks 100% the same on upgraded and new).
    BTW, your video saved me easily an hour of struggling to get it all apart. Thank you for posting.

      so the issue is with the bearing and no the shaft?

    • @hmata3
      @hmata3 2 года назад

      @@GR-uk5ou The issue is with the shaft.
      When he does a side by side comparison, the old shaft has a tube isolator whereas the new shady is a solid u-joint (no isolation). He explains how there's some play when he rotates only the shaft.
      This means that the rubber isolation has degraded and so now you have that loose steering feel.
      Isolators are added to the steering system to reduce the road bumpiness feedback felt by the driver.

    • @hmata3

      The bearing/ plastic bushing didn't look broken but it's still a good idea to replace it. When that breaks, you'll feel chucking on the steering column end.

    Before you do anything, take cover off top of steering column, where the red flasher button is, and then start the truck and turn the wheel until you see a T-25 torx head screw. Probably loose? Turn wheel other direction until you see another T-25 torx head screw.
    Mine were just about to fall out. It’s the tilt steering joint.
    Good luck.

    My new shaft would not fit and my new steering bearing would not fit. I ended up honing the shaft at both ends to a glass finish(I have a knife sharpening business which helped) and even then it took great effort to get it on. The bearing would not go on at all, after an hour I put the old one back on to get the truck running. This job was on a 2007 Silverado Classic, Not much room under the dash.

    After an hour of trying to put the Dorman piece in, I couldn't get it the last 3/4 inch. So I came up with a plan to use a deep socket (30mm) as a ram to press it on the rest of the way. I didn't need to use a hammer or anything else, just tap the part with the socket. If you do this, use a socket large enough that if is putting force on the outer rim of NEAR the bearing and not the bearing itself. Had it installed in a couple minutes.

      Thanks Bud - I appreciate the support and kind words! This job only took 30 to 45 minutes (not counting the extra time due to setting up the camera and such). Good luck with your tahoe!

    Is it safe to drive on a bad steering column bearing?
