Yo! The rest of the story:
“C” clip in place to hold spring tension against the upper steering shaft bearing:
Plastic dust cover:
Type II steering wheel ready for tightening to 30 ft lbs:
Belleville spring drops onto a ledge molded into the Type II wheel’s rubber (in the Type I wheel, the spring has a ring-like, milky-white plastic insulator that encircles the outer edge and is held in place simply by the receiver and insulator):
Receiver and insulator screw down over the spring, and GM adds the triangular steering wheel nut keeper to the end of the shaft for safety:
Final assembly in the following post.
Todd.
