Park the vehicle with the wheels pointing straight ahead. Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Remove the steering wheel, then turn the ignition key to the LOCK position to prevent the steering shaft from turning. If this is not done, the airbag clockspring could be damaged. Remove the steering column covers. Remove the clockspring. Disconnect the electrical connectors for the multi-function switch. If equipped, remove the shift cable from the shift lever and cable mounting bracket. Mark the relationship of the U-joint to the intermediate shaft, then remove and discard the pinch bolt and nut. Remove the steering column mounting fasteners, lower the column and pull it to the rear, making sure nothing is still connected, then remove the column. Guide the steering column into position, then install the steering column mounting fasteners and tighten them to the torque. Connect the U-joint to the intermediate shaft. Install a new intermediate shaft pinch bolt and nut, tightening it to the torque. The remainder of installation is the reverse of removal. After you've reconnected the battery, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) must relearn its idle and fuel mixture trim strategy for optimum driveability and performance.
