Yes. ;-) You are correct. Don't forget to disconnect the horn wire connection kinda carefully when you pop/pull the long horn button off. I think that nut is 17mm? I used my wheel breaker bar 'n deep socket. Drive the van just far enough so that you can feel assured that the wheels are straight ahead. Suggestion . do this out on the road somewhere so when you slip the steering wheel back on you can test-drive it, before tightening the bolt back down, to be sure the wheel is where you want it. bob |
