Tilt Steering Column - Legend - Part 2 Of 2:

^ Tools Required:
- J 41352 Modular Column Holding Fixture

REMOVE OR DISCONNECT
1. Negative (-) battery cable.
2. Disable the SIR system.
3. Inner boot seal (66) from adapter & bearing assembly (62). Slide boot seal down cplg & strg shaft assembly (65).
4. Cplg & strg shaft assembly (65) from shaft assembly (37).
^ Remove pinch bolt

Checking For Accident Damage:

NOTICE: Do not attempt to pry off the cplg & strg shaft assembly, as this will damage the adapter and bearing assembly (62). Use screwdriver to pry apart ears of cplg & strg shaft assembly (65), and then remove shaft.

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 and holding fixture. Never place column directly into a vise. Under no conditions should the end of shaft be hammered on as hammering could loosen plastic injections which maintain steering column rigidity.

5. Lower or remove steering column from vehicle.
^ Secure steering column to modular colt holding fixture J 41352.

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 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.
