NOTE: Before proceeding, See: Service Precautions .
1. Siphon out as much power steering fluid as possible from the reservoir.
2. Reposition the floor carpeting to access the intermediate shaft coupling at the base of the column.
3. Position the front wheels of vehicle in the STRAIGHT-AHEAD position, then turn the steering wheel to the right until the intermediate shaft
coupling bolt (3) at the base of the column can be accessed.
4. Remove the intermediate shaft coupling bolt (3). Do not separate the intermediate shaft (2) from the steering gear pinion shaft (4) at this
time.
5. Return the front wheels of vehicle (and steering wheel) to the STRAIGHT-AHEAD position. Using a steering wheel holder, lock the steering
wheel in place to keep it from rotating. This keeps the clockspring in the proper orientation.
