Installation Instructions for 1955-1957 Ford Thunderbird
2 BOLTS
1. Raise car off ground. Remove the outer tie rod end cotter pins. Remove tie rod nuts. Remove the
idler arm mounting bolts off of the passenger side of the frame by removing the thru bolts.
2. From inside the car remove the steering wheel horn pad. Remove the nut under the horn pad and
remove the steering wheel using a puller so you don’t crack the wheel. Next label and remove the
wire harness going from the steering column to the car. You can now remove the mounting point of
the column to the dash. From under the hood remove the clamp surface on the column tube going to
the steering box. Remove the steering column tube from inside the car. The only piece in the car
should be the steering shaft going to the gearbox.
