The pin diameter must be in the range of 1-2 mm. A new steering wheel position sensor will come with a pin installed in the sensor. The steering wheel position sensor will already come centered, DO NOT remove the pin until the steering wheel position sensor is properly seated. During installation the steering wheel position sensor must be set with approximately 3 mm gap between it and the bearing adapter.
