If installing a new clockspring, do not remove the clockspring anti-rotation key until the steering wheel is installed.

Failure to follow this instruction may result in component damage and/or system failure.
WARNING:
If the clockspring is not correctly centralized, it may fail prematurely. If in doubt, repeat the centralizing procedure. Failure to follow these instructions may increase the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.
