REMOVAL

CAUTION

The tilt lever should be held in the lock position until the 
steering column assembly is installed to the vehicle. If the 
steering column assembly is removed with the tilt lever 
released, or the tilt lever is released after the steering col-
umn assembly was removed from the vehicle, the steering 
column assembly cannot be reinstalled correctly. If the 
steering column assembly is installed incorrectly, the colli-
sion energy absorbing mechanism may be damaged.
1. Ensure that the tilt lever is in the lock position, and remove 

the steering column assembly mounting bolts.

2. Pinch the steering column shaft clip with pliers, and pull up 

the shaft in the direction shown to disengage the steering 
column assembly.

NOTE: If the steering column shaft is removed accidentally, 
remove the steering column assembly and be sure to insert the 
steering column shaft into the steering column as shown in the 
figure.

CAUTION

1. If reusing the steering column assembly, do not release 

the tilt lever until the steering column assembly has

anism at the steering column assembly mounting loca-
tion may be damaged.

steering column assembly. Tighten the four bolts finger-tight in 
the order shown, and then tighten them to the specified torque
