NOTE: Before proceeding, See: Service Precautions .
1. Siphon out as much power steering fluid as possible from the reservoir.
2. Place the front wheels of vehicle (and steering wheel) in 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 while the intermediate shaft is disconnected.
3. Reposition the floor carpeting and sound deadening insulation to access the intermediate shaft coupling (1) at the base of the column.
4. Remove the intermediate shaft coupling bolt (2).
5. Separate the intermediate shaft coupling (1) from the steering gear pinion shaft (3).
