    Hi Everyone,

    I just removed my top pot because my Steering Wheel don't go home all the way (indicators wouldn't auto cancel) and I could pull the wheel up slightly.

    On inspection the top bearing looks fine, I have a bearing Kit from RARES to replace it all with.

    A couple of questions.

    1. Where else do I look for symptoms as to why the wheel pulls up about 1/4 of an inch?

    2. I removed the ignition rod at the top pot first (probably should have done it at the ignition switch. Is it easier to re assemble if I undo the rod at the bottom ?

    3. When putting the new bearing in, do I do this before reinstalling the top pot (I can imagine it requires a bit of tapping to get into place, cant image I should do this when on the column ?

    4. I have read the bearing should be glued into place ? (any recommendations )

    5. Is there an idiots guide to re assembly?

    Thanks for your help
