The manufacturer recommends using new mounting fasteners for installation. Park the vehicle with the wheels pointing straight ahead. Extend the column all the way out. Disconnect the cable(s) from the negative battery terminal(s). Wait at least two minutes before proceeding. On models equipped with electric telescoping columns, place the column in the mid-tilt position. Remove the steering wheel, then turn the ignition key to the LOCK position to prevent the steering shaft from turning. If this is not done, the airbag clockspring could be damaged. Loosen one of the clockspring mounting fasteners to keep the clockspring centered. Remove the knee bolster and reinforcement panel underneath it. Remove the Steering Column Control Module. Remove the mounting screws for the plastic shroud at the end of the column and detach the tilt adjuster handle, if equipped. Remove the lower steering column mounting fasteners at the firewall. Remove the instrument cluster. Detach the electrical wiring harness for the column. Raise the front of the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. From under the vehicle, mark the steering shaft to the lower coupling shaft and remove the pinch bolt. Separate the shafts. On vehicles equipped with electric telescoping columns, remove the brace attached to dash support and the column. Remove the pivot bolt on the column. Remove the upper steering column mounting bolts and remove the column. Handle the steering column with care to avoid damaging it. Guide the steering column into position and install the top and pivot mounting fasteners, but don't tighten them yet. Make sure the lower boot is properly seated on the column before placing it into position through the firewall. Install the brace removed if equipped. The remainder of installation is the reverse of removal.
