We will work through this installation using all these parts. For instruction

REMOVAL of OEM Column:

Disconnect positive battery cable.

Now go under the dash and disconnect
the wire plug from the column to the un­der dash harness.

Remove the three screws that hold the
gasket to the re wall.

Now you can remove the two bolts from
the dash mount. (See Figure 2)

To remove the horn button on your
stock steering wheel, push it in, then
rotate counter clockwise.

Remove the nut and use a wheel pull­er to pull the original steering wheel
off the original column. (See Figure 1)

(Figure 1)

You will want to rotate the column left
and right to loosen and then pull the
column back toward the driver to re­move it from the car. There will still be
a ¾” round shaft sticking into the driver
compartment from the gear box. (See

Figure 3 & 4)
