REMOVAL
Preparation:
1) Turn the steering wheel so that the vehicle's wheels
are pointing straight ahead.
2) Turn the ignition switch to "LOCK".
3) Disconnect the battery ground cable, and wait at least
5 minutes.
4) Disconnect the yellow 2way SRS connector located
under the steering column.
CAUTION:
Once the steering column is removed from the vehicle, the column is extremely suspectible to
damage. Dropping the column assembly on its end could collapse the steering shaft or loosen the
slide block which maintains column rigidity. Leaning on the column assembly could cause the jacket
to bend or deform. Any of the above damage could impair the column's collapsible design. If it is
necessary to remove the steering wheel, use only the specified steering wheel puller. Under no
conditions should the end of the shaft be hammered upon, as hammering could loosen slide block
which maintains column rigidity.
