Attention.

• Fix the steering wheel with tape or wire to prevent the steering shaft from turning when disconnected. If the steering wheel is turned after the steering shaft is disconnected from the steering gear, the internal parts of the contact disk may be damaged.
• Do not allow brake fluid to come into contact with painted surfaces. This fluid contains substances that can dissolve the body paint. If brake fluid comes into contact with a painted surface, it must be immediately washed off with plenty of water and the surface must be thoroughly wiped.
