Disconnect the electrical connectors from the ignition switch assembly and remove the park/lock cable end from the ignition lock cylinder housing. Remove the bolts from the lock cylinder housing and slide the multi-function switch bracket from the column. Remove the driver's knee bolster trim panel and lower insulator panel. Disconnect the electrical connectors from the power steering unit, if equipped. Remove the through-bolt from the lower part of the steering column. Mark the relationship of the steering shaft U-joint to the intermediate shaft and remove the pinch bolt. Remove the steering column upper mounting fasteners, lower the column, and separate the intermediate shaft from the steering shaft to remove the column. To install the steering column, guide it into position and connect the intermediate shaft. Install the mounting bolts and tighten the pinch bolt to the specified torque. Slide the multi-function switch housing back onto the column and ensure the lock tab is fully seated. Install the ignition switch assembly and tighten the bolts.
