Disconnect the negative battery cable, and for models equipped with airbags, disable the airbag system. Next, remove the steering wheel. Pull the tilt lever straight out to remove it, then take out the two retaining screws along with the lower half of the steering column trim cover. After that, remove the Torx-head screw to detach the upper half of the trim cover. For installation, follow the reverse order of removal, ensuring to push the tilt lever straight back into the slot when replacing it.
