Author	Topic:   steering cable reinstall,15'SS
gamble	posted 06-21-2001 01:20 PM ET (US)         Have completed refinish of wood, and am ready yot reinstall console. I removed steering cable from underside of wheel to get the console out and now I need to put it back in. i'm not sure if this is the "telex" system referred to so often in this forum. It is basically a flexible, toothed cable that coes around a gear? inside the steering box and then exits above the axis of that gear/housing into a flexible plastic tube which extends horizontally under the console's deck. Is there any particular trick I should know about before I try to put it back together? Thank you for the help. David Gamble

Do NOT glop up the cable with grease, a skim coat is all or you can get grease lock and jam the cable. It IS as easy as it looks. Nick
