  Q: How do I remove and install the steering column?

  A: To remove the steering column, start by parking the vehicle with the wheels in the straight-ahead position and disconnecting the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Then, disable the airbag system and remove the steering column covers, Steering Wheel, and airbag clockspring. Next, remove the lower instrument panel trim, knee bolster, and heater/air conditioning duct. If equipped, detach the shift cable and shift interlock cable from the ignition lock cylinder. Remove the cover from the lower part of the steering column, if applicable. Mark the relationship of the steering column shaft to the intermediate shaft and remove the pinch bolt. Disconnect any electrical connectors that may interfere with the removal. Finally, remove the steering column mounting nuts and guide the column out from the instrument panel. To install the steering column, guide it into position and connect the steering shaft with the intermediate shaft, ensuring the alignment of the marks. Install the mounting fasteners and tighten them to the specified torque. Then, install the pinch bolt and tighten it to the specified torque. The remainder of the installation process is the reverse of the removal procedure.
