Zusammenfassung:	A steering assembly including a motor assembly, a worm assembly, and a coupler assembly is provided. The worm assembly includes a worm member defining a central axis and having first and second ends. The coupler assembly may include an adapter having a first wall defining a through-hole sized to receive a portion of the first end therein. The coupler assembly may operatively connect the motor assembly and the worm assembly. The worm member and the adapter may be arranged with one another such that pressing a swedge tool against a face of the worm member in a direction substantially parallel with the central axis deforms the first end to overlap a portion of the worm member onto a portion of the adapter adjacent the through-hole to secure the worm member and adapter to one another and to axially retain the worm member in a position relative to the central axis.
