1. Do steps 1 through 8, under "REMOVE OR DISCONNECT," refer to LOWER SHROUD, UPPER SHROUD.
2. Air bag module and steering wheel.





NOTICE: Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) coil assembly (2) will become uncentered if:
1) Steering column is separated from steering gear and allowed to rotate.





2) Centering spring is pushed down, letting hub rotate while coil (2) is removed from steering column. If this occurs, center the coil.

3. Retaining ring (30).
4. SIR coil assembly (2).
5. Wave washer (3).
6. Two wire harness straps (22) from steering column wire harness.

INSTALL OR CONNECT

NOTICE: Always use the correct fastener in the proper location. When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part number for that application. The manufacturer will call out those fasteners that require a replacement after removal. The manufacturer will also call out the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not use supplemental coatings (paints, greases, or other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and the joint clamping force, and may damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the correct tightening sequence and specifications. Following these instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and systems. Failure to do so may result in component damage or malfunction of steering column.
