Hi , After reviewing the great write up in the "How To" section "save $2000) on this forum on stripping the EPS steering column I was able to dismantle my steering column and expose the torque sensor. (See picture.)
I am wondering if anyone has managed to remove the holding collar , which would enable the removal of the torque sensor assembly and repair the suspected broken ribbon cable within ? I am thinking the collar can perhaps be pulled off , but the question is how ?????
The brown collar is attached to a 2" long steel sleeve on the steering shaft. If its removed then the torque sensor assembly will slide off.
I am planning to try a puller on this but not sure if it is press fit or glues etc to the shaft ???
Appreciate feedback from anyone who has got this off
