Throttle and Spark rod springs
Any advice with installing the throttle and Spark rod springs at the bottom of the steering column? Removing the pins was easy but getting the springs compressed enough to reinstall the pins is proving to be a challenge.

Re: Throttle and Spark rod springs
Are you working on a bench? You might need an extra pair of hands to compress the spring while you place the pin.

Re: Throttle and Spark rod springs
use a 7/16 nut driver to push the control arm up to the pin hole,drop in pin, you can also file or grind a slight bevel on the pin to make easier to drop in pin if it is a tight fit.
