Steering Shaft Coupler: Service and Repair
REMOVAL - STEERING COLUMN LOWER COUPLING
NOTE: Before proceeding with this procedure, Refer to Service Precautions.
1. Place the steering wheel in the STRAIGHT-AHEAD position. Using a steering wheel holder, lock the steering wheel in place to keep it from
rotating (Fig. 26). This keeps the clockspring in the proper orientation.
2. Inside the passenger compartment, remove the steering column coupling retainer pin, back off the pinch bolt nut, and remove the steering column
coupling pinch bolt (Fig. 27) (the pinch bolt nut is caged to the coupling and is not removable). Separate the upper and lower steering column
couplings.
3. Raise the vehicle.
