How long does it take to change steering coupler?
Steering coupler is a $3 part and labor time standard is 2.1 hours.
What will happen if the coupling fails?
The function of a coupling is to connect two rotating shafts, for the transfer of rotary motion and torque. However, if just one of these factors is not met, a coupling can prematurely fail, causing anything from a small inconvenience, to a significant financial loss, and even the potential of personal injury.
Why are spiders used in McMaster Carr couplings?
Spiders act as a cushion between the two hubs, reducing vibration and compensating for slight shaft misalignment. No need to remove hubs, disconnect shafts, or move equipment to replace worn split spiders— they are split along one side for easy installation and removal.
What are the parts of a spider coupling?
A complete coupling consists of two hubs and one spider, or two hubs, one split spider, and one retaining ring (all components sold separately). Split spiders are easier to install and replace than standard spiders because there’s no need for tools or removing your hubs. Twist-lock them in place using a retaining ring.

What to do when coupling power steering to steering column?
When refitting the power steering motor to the steering column, ensure the coupling is correctly lined up and that the power steering motor is pulled down evenly onto the steering column to assure proper alignment. Carry out a steering angle sensor calibration if required and road test vehicle to ensure proper steering functionality.
Do you need to remove the steering column?
Remove the 3 or 4 (Depending on model) T30 Torx bolts that fix the motor to the steering column and carefully remove the power steering motor. In some instances, this repair can be done in-situe, in others the steering column may need to be removed from the vehicle in order to properly clean and realign the power steering motor and steering column.
What’s the best way to replace a coupling on a Hyundai?
Replacement Tip: Clean out the coupling seating areas between the motor and column with compressed air so the new flexible coupling will seat. Courtesy of Mitchell 1.
What can a split Spider coupling be used for?
The thick split spider on these couplings can take on twice as much torque as standard spiders, extending the life of bearings, seals, and motors. They are often used to connect motors to pumps, mixers, large conveyors, and other high-torque equipment.
