Removal & Installation: Notes

CAUTION: When working on a collapsible steering column, DO NOT  bump or hammer on column components. With column removed from mounts, it is extremely susceptible to impact damage. A slight impact on column end may collapse steering shaft or loosen plastic injections which maintain column rigidity. When removing steering wheel, use a puller but DO NOT  hammer on puller to aid removal.
