Removal Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Pontiac Vibe. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: The steering column must be in the LOCK position before disconnecting the following components:
  • The steering column
  • The steering shaft coupling
  • The intermediate shaft
  • The lower steering shaft
After disconnecting these components, do not move the front tires and wheels. Failure to follow these procedures may cause improper alignment of some components during installation and result in possible damage to the SIR coil.
  1. LOCK the steering column and verify the front wheels are in the straight ahead position.
  2. Move the silencer pad away from the steering column.
  3. Use paint in order to place match marks on the steering shaft coupling (3) and on the shaft (4).
