i have to change my steerin column and i just wanted to know what would be the easiest way to do it

its either i take it apart starting from the steering wheel and workin my way down or is there a way for me to take out the whole steering assmebly???

if anyone could help that be great
thx

 

can i ask why you feel the need to take it out?


ive found most of the time, people replace the entire unit when a simple part change is all they need.....

 

oh and yea, it can all come out as one piece...

undo the elec plugs under it... remove the steering wheel if you're going to.... then undo the 2 bolts under the dash and the other bolts and it comes right out.

 

i need to replace it because my car was broken in to and they kinda bent the steerin column tryin to take off my club
how they bent it iunno but sure would like to find out

 

There are three bolts on the firewall at the base of the column, and one that holds the column to the shaft on the steering box too. It's a pretty basic job. If you want it to be a direct swap, make sure the wiring on the new column is identical. They did change quite a bit throughout the years.

aight thx sounds good gonna do at as soon as it stops raining lol

 

I did the same thing but now I've run into a problem. I took the steering column shaft off of the intermediate shaft and now i'm having a pain trying to get it back on. I know that there is a notch in it so it lines up right and that is in the correct position, but I need to know what kind of method is used to get the intermediate shaft on correctly. I'm searching and coming back empty handed.
