STEERING COLUMN
Important: Remove the steering column only if the
following conditions exist:
•
The steering column requires replacement.
•
The steering and the ignition lock housing require
replacement.
•
Another operation requires the removal of the
steering column
Notice: The steering column is extremely
susceptible to damage after it has been removed
from the vehicle. Dropping the column assembly
on its end or hammering the end of the steering
shaft can collapse the steering shaft or loosen the
plastic injections which maintain column rigidity.
Leaning on the column can cause it to bend or
deform. Any of the above damage can impair the
column’s collapsible design. If it is necessary to
remove the steering wheel, use only the specified
steering wheel puller.
