  Q: How to remove and install a steering column?

  A: Park the vehicle with the wheels in the straight-ahead position. Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Disable the airbag system. Remove the steering column covers. Remove the Steering Wheel and the airbag clockspring. Remove the lower instrument panel trim (under the steering column), the knee bolster and the heater/air conditioning duct. Disconnect the electrical connecter for the shift interlock solenoid from the ignition lock cylinder. Remove the steering column switches. Mark the relationship of the steering column shaft to the intermediate shaft, then remove the pinch bolt. Mark and disconnect any electrical connectors that would interfere with removal. Remove the steering column mounting fasteners, then guide the column out from the instrument panel. Guide the column into position, connecting the steering shaft with the intermediate shaft. Be sure to align the marks made. Install the mounting fasteners, tightening them to the specific torque. Install the pinch bolt and tighten it to the specific torque. The remainder of installation is the reverse of the removal procedure. The clock spring, steering wheel and airbag module installation details.
