Steering Column R & I: 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 proper puller. DO NOT
hammer on puller to aid removal. On all models, always replace transmission linkage grommet when rod is disconnected.
