IMPORTANT
^ Before doing any service procedures, removal of Inflator Module and Steering Wheel is needed.

REMOVE OR DISCONNECT
1. Disable the SIR system.
2. Negative (-) battery cable.
3. Steering column from vehicle.

NOTICE: Once steering column is removed from vehicle, the column is extremely susceptible to damage. Dropping steering column assembly on its end could collapse steering shaft or loosen plastic injections which maintain column rigidity. Leaning on steering column assembly could cause jacket to bend or deform. Any of the above damage could impair steering column's collapsible design. If it is necessary to remove steering wheel, use only the specified steering wheel puller. Under no conditions should the end of the shaft be hammered on as hammering could loosen plastic injections which maintain steering column rigidity.





INSPECT
^ Steering column for accident damage.

4. Do all steps, "REMOVE OR DISCONNECT", Sub Section B.





5. Pivot pins (39) using J 21854-01.
^ Reinstall tilt lever.
6. Steering column housing assembly (30).
^ Pull back on tilt lever and pull steering column housing assembly (30) down and away from column.

IMPORTANT
^ Remove only those components necessary to do repairs.
