OEM COLUMN REMOVAL:

Disconnect positive battery cable.

Drive out the roll pin in the coupler between
the steering column and the gear box. (Figure

1) These roll pins tend to be pretty stubborn,

to help loosen, try soaking them with a
penetrating oil. Be sure to use a punch that
is just a little under 5/16 of an inch. Using too

small of a punch will make this task very difcult.

Once the pin is removed, center the steering
wheel so the tires are pointing straight.

Next, take a Phillips head screw driver and
from inside the vehicle remove the two
screws that hold the lower cover under the

column. Once that is removed you will nd

the white or neutral colored plug that holds
the signal wires together. (Figure 2)
Carefully disconnect this plug. Use caution
as it may be brittle.

Figure 2

First, loosen the two bolts that keep the

oor mount held together (Figure 3,

Step 1). Then remove the four bolts that

hold the oor mount to the oor (Figure

3, Step 1). You will have to gently pry

the seal loose as these tend to stick to

the rewall. We won’t be reusing the
gasket so you don’t need to worry about

damaging it.

Figure 3

The next item that will need to be removed is the underdash mount. There
are three bolts that hold the mount to the dash. NOTE a ground wire is
attached to the bolt located on the left hand side. Disconnect this ground
wire at the dash side.

For the following, it may be benecial to have a helper give you a
hand under the hood while you are inside the vehicle. The joint that
is attached to the OEM column may need some persuasion in order to
detach it from the box. Make sure your helper has a hammer handy.
