  A: To detach the column cover, first unplug the cable from the car's negative battery terminal. Next, remove fasteners located at the bottom of lower cover and then gradually and carefully lift upper cover upwards till it releases itself by clips off from lower one.

  Q: How do you remove the steering column for Buick Enclave,Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia?

  A: To remove the steering column, begin by parking the vehicle with the wheels pointing straight and locking the steering in place. Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Remove the Steering Wheel, under-dash panel, knee bolster, column covers, instrument cluster bezel, and steering column housing cover. Disconnect all electrical connectors from the steering column components and remove the lower steering column brace bolts and bracket if necessary. Remove the intermediate steering shaft upper pinch bolt and disconnect the shaft from the steering column. Finally, remove the steering column mounting fasteners and remove the column from under the instrument panel. To install the steering column, position it in the vehicle and tighten the steering column nuts and bolts. Push the steering column flush against the instrument panel carrier and hand-tighten the fasteners. Connect the intermediate shaft to the steering column, install a new pinch bolt, and tighten it to the specified torque. Check that the shaft seal is seated correctly and make any necessary adjustments. If there is a support bracket, reinstall it. If the vehicle has a telescopic/tilt steering column, calibration of the steering module may be necessary. The remaining steps for installation are the reverse of the removal process.
