I know it's not engine, but it is tech!

Anyways, I haven't been able to get the cruise lever off - am I missing something?

With the wipers in the off position, firmly grasp the stalk and pull out.

1/4 turn (towards you) and pull... it should come right out... if you have cruise control pull the wire through the steering column (NOTE: if you plan to keep cruise tie a length of string to the wire b/c you'll never get another one back in if you dont )
