(6) Remove the upper shroud from the steering col-
umn using the following procedure:
(a) On the right side of the steering column,
push in on seam between the upper and lower
shrouds at the forward end (near instrument
panel). The seam should snap open, releasing that
side of the upper shroud.
(b) Once the shroud unsnaps, pull that side of
the upper shroud upward away from the lower.
(c) Repeat this procedure on the opposite side of
the column, then remove the upper shroud.
(7) Remove the screw fastening the tilt lever to the
steering column (Fig. 46). Remove the lever.
(8) Remove the two screws attaching the lower
shroud to the steering column. Remove the lower
shroud from the steering column.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install the lower shroud on the steering column
(Fig. 46). Install the 2 screws attaching the lower
shroud to the steering column.
(2) Install the tilt lever on the steering column and
install the mounting screw (Fig. 46).
(3) Install the upper shroud on the steering col-
umn by snapping it onto the lower shroud. Make
sure there are no gaps between the two shrouds once
the upper shroud is installed.
(4) Install the parking brake release cable on the
parking brake release handle in the lower instru-
ment panel cover (Fig. 45).
(5) Connect the wiring harness to the trunk
release switch in the lower instrument panel cover
(Fig. 44).
(6) Install the lower instrument panel cover using
the retaining clips along the top and right edge.
(7) Install the two screws behind the fuse panel
cover attaching the lower instrument panel cover to
the instrument panel (Fig. 43).
(8) Install the fuse panel cover on the left end of
the instrument panel (Fig. 42).
SHROUD - UPPER
REMOVAL
CAUTION: The upper shroud is retained to the
steering column by a snap fit to the lower shroud.
When removing the upper shroud from the lower
shroud, DO NOT use a hard or sharp tool. This will
damage the shrouds. If a tool must be used, use a
soft tool such as a trim stick.
(1) On the right side of the steering column, push
in on seam between the upper and lower shrouds at
the forward end (near instrument panel). The seam
should snap open, releasing that side of the upper
shroud.
(2) Once the shroud unsnaps, pull that side of the
upper shroud upward away from the lower.
(3) Repeat this procedure on the opposite side of
the column, then remove the upper shroud.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install the upper shroud on the steering col-
umn by snapping it onto the lower shroud.
(2) Make sure there are no gaps at the seam
between the two shrouds.

STEERING COUPLING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - STEERING
COLUMN SHAFT UPPER COUPLER
If the steering column shaft upper coupler is diag-
nosed to be defective due to any of the following con-
ditions: seized bearing, loose bearing stake or a
bearing not fully seated in the yoke of the coupler
assembly, the coupler can be serviced as a separate
component of the steering column assembly.
REMOVAL
(1) Remove steering column assembly from vehicle.
Refer to the Steering Column Removal.
(2) Install Puller, Special Tool 6831-A, through
center of roll pin in flex coupler and install knurled
nut (Fig. 47).
(3) While holding hex on end threaded rod, tighten
the nut on threaded rod of Puller, Special Tool
6831-A. This will pull the roll pin out of the coupler.
(4) Remove the coupler from the steering column
shaft
INSTALLATION
(1) Start roll pin into coupler prior to installing
coupler on steering column shaft. Install roll pin into
coupler just far enough to square roll pin to hole in
flex coupler. If roll pin is installed too far, coupler
will not slide onto steering column shaft.
(2) Install coupler on steering shaft until correctly
positioned to allow roll pin to be installed in coupler.
(3) Install Puller, Special Tool 6831-A, through
center of roll pin and install knurled nut (Fig. 48).
(4) Using
Puller,
Special
Tool,
6831-A,
(Fig.
48)install roll pin into the coupler until spring pin is
fully installed through both sides of the coupler.
STEERING WHEEL
REMOVAL
(1) Place the front road wheels in the straight-
ahead position, then:
(a) Rotate the steering wheel one-half turn (180
degrees) to the right (clockwise).
(b) Lock column in place with the ignition cylin-
der lock.
NOTE: The steering column on vehicles with an
automatic transmission may not be equipped with
an internal locking shaft that allows the ignition key
cylinder to be locked with the key. Alternative meth-
ods of locking the steering wheel for service will
have to be used.
(2) Open hood and disconnect the negative battery
cable remote terminal from the remote battery post.
(3) Wait two minutes for the reserve capacitor to
discharge before removing non-deployed airbag.
CAUTION: When removing the steering wheel, use
care not to damage the steering wheel finish. The
wood grain on some steering wheels can be easily
marred.
(4) Remove speed control switches and connectors.
(5) Remove the driver airbag attaching bolts on
the front of the steering wheel.
(6) Lift driver airbag, disconnect the airbag and
horn wire connectors, then remove airbag.

(7) If optional audio control switches are present
on the rear of the steering wheel, disconnect the
4-way connector between the clockspring and steer-
ing wheel wiring harness.
(8) Remove steering wheel retaining nut.
(9) Remove steering wheel with steering wheel
puller. While removing steering wheel, take care to
feed the wires gently through the opening in the
steering wheel armature.
INSTALLATION
(1) Confirm that:
• The steering wheel position is a half turn (180
degrees) to the right (clockwise).
• The column is locked with the ignition cylinder lock.
• Check that the turn signal stalk is in the neu-
tral position.
NOTE: The steering column on vehicles with an auto-
matic transmission may not be equipped with an inter-
nal locking shaft that allows the ignition key cylinder
to be locked with the key. Alternative methods of lock-
ing the steering wheel for service will have to be used.
CAUTION: When installing the steering wheel, use
care not to damage the steering wheel finish. The
wood grain on some steering wheels can be easily
marred.
(2) Pull all wires through the larger opening of the
hub area on the wheel. Install steering wheel ensur-
ing the flats on hub align with the clockspring.
Ensure leads do not get pinched under the steering
wheel.
(3) Install retaining nut, and torque it to 61 N·m
(45 ft.lbs.).
(4) Route speed control wires through the slots in
the steering wheel back cover.
(5) Connect the horn lead wire and the airbag lead
wire to the airbag module.
(6) If optional audio control switches are present
on the rear of the steering wheel, connect the 4-way
connector lead from the clockspring to the steering
wheel wiring harness lead. Once connected, place the
connector in back cover formation located at the 12
O’clock position.
(7) Install the drivers airbag and torque bolts to 8
N·m (75 in. lbs.).
(8) Connect the speed control wires to the switches
and install switches. Torque screws to 1.5 N·m (13 in.
lbs.).
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT THE BATTERY NEG-
ATIVE CABLE REMOTE TERMINAL AT THIS TIME.
