Steering column reassembly
It's been awhile since I've been here. Well, I've done it again! I took the steering column apart to see what was wrong with it and now I forget how it goes back together
I have a spring, a metal cap (retainer?), and a metal washer lookin deal with two or three ears on it for the bolts. I know the bolts go in from the backside but I can't remember what order it goes back together in. A little help? Thanks In Advance TW

Here you go,
The bolts that go in from the back- I place them in the shift housing just starting the nut in the front, then place the housing on, using a small screw driver to push bolt heads into place, easier done then said. The spring goes on almost last, there is an inner spring plate that like a cone, it goes in then the spring then the turn signal switch, ex. Then the steering wheel. Hope this helps, it has been a little bit since I did this but it should be a alright.
