You will need a steering wheel puller to get the wheel off the column. You can rent one at
your local parts store if you don’t own one. Be sure to get a puller kit that has the necessary
tools for a tilt column – you will need them to remove the tilt pins from the column.
If the
airbags have not been deployed on your donor and you have not already removed them, see the
Steering Column section of Donor Teardown for safe removal procedure to avoid causing the
airbags to accidentally deploy. The airbags deploy quickly with a lot of force so you do not
want to have your head or any body part near the airbag if it deploys without warning.
Follow steps 1-10 for the Non-Telescoping Column.
Unbolt the telescope motor from the lower bracket on the column jacket.
Untie the safety wire holding the motor to the bracket.
