Slightly tighten the retaining nut against the hub to hold the assembly in place against the spring. Once it is secure remove the retaining nut.
Follow the instruction for the horn contact plunger according to the type of horn contact in your steering column. A new plunger is supplied in the kit and will work for most GM horn contact types.
 After modifying the plunger for your installation, insert the small spring into the tower protruding through the installation hub. |
 The plunger is then inserted against the spring and seated against the hub with the wire coming toward you. |
 Use a small piece of masking tape to hold the plunger and spring in position in the hub. This will allow you to install the column cap without fighting the spring trying to push out the contact plunger. |
The steering column in this Camaro is the stock GM tilt variety, which requires a specific Grant Installation Kit (#3162). Prior to the install, the owner had the metal collar, which is provided in the kit and comes in black, painted in the same blue as the interior. The installation is straightforward utilizing normal hand tools, and the instructions are easy to figure out, even for a novice car person. You’ll probably need a steering wheel puller, which is available from Grant or most auto parts stores, and is inexpensive. Barring unforeseen problems, the install should only take 30 minutes or less, and as you can see, the results are worth every bit of effort.
